Do YOU know where YOUR 11th-great-grand-uncles's 4th nephew's 3rd other neice's adopted brother's immigrant Civil War Veteran 8th-great-grandchild's children are? Internet services provided for free by Jim Carr/KC4MHH, with thanks. The Family Photo Albums		JUNE, 2003: SERVER CONTAINING THESE ALBUMS TOOK A LIGHTNING HIT AND THIS SITE WAS DOWN FOR A WHILE. ALL FILES ON THE SERVER WERE LOST AND THIS WHOLE SITE HAD TO BE REUPLOADED FROM BACKUPS, WHICH IS STILL IN PROGRESS. NOTE: IF YOU SHARED PHOTOS WITH US SINCE END OF 2001, THRU 2002, I'VE ALSO LOST MY OUTLOOK PST'S - WHICH CONTAINED MY OWN BACKUPS OF PHOTOS SHARED BY CORRESPONDENCE. IF YOU SHARED A PHOTO, PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND RESEND THEM, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. THANKS. -TODD This whole site is a major task that is so vast it will probably never NOT be "Under Contruction." I have been wanting to put this together for the whole family for years and, because I knew how monumental this job would be, have been deliberately putting it off. But I can keep doing that until one day I die, and, then it'll never be put up, and noone will ever see it. So, I'll put it together piece by piece, slowly, as I find the urge to work on it. I wanted to create a vast place where we could ALL go to share and admire the things of our family history. The idea was to try to scan and document the things that are currently separated amongst all the various families, spread all about the country, and put them all in one place. No one has to travel hundreds of miles and beg, from someone you've never seen before, a tour of their heirlooms. It can be accessed at any time of the day and night. At least, that's the idea. As I see it, the family history should be shared between all the family members. I have worked so very hard finding, sorting and scanning all of this, and I have placed everything that I came across up here. It was a HUGE task. It was no picnic, either. I sufferred through very painfully itching, burning and swelling hands which apparently reacted to a lot of these old documents and photos. Things break down and become something different over time. Then you touch it many years later, and you can get a very bad reaction. That is apparently what happened to me. Allergy or what...I don't know. But it was not fun. But I figured it was worth it to endure it in order to compile all of this, and to make it available to the families. As I said already, if I put it off, people may NEVER get to see it. So, I'm doing it while I have the "attitude" and the desire to do it. Along with what I have herein provided, each family member should contribute scans, or photocopies of things in their own possession and put them up on the web for ALL the other family members to see, so that a more complete picture of our ancestors may be painted. I have found all the things in the "attics" of our line. There is more in the attics of other cousins which should be hunted down and made available for viewing by us all. That is exactly what I am attempting to do, here. If you would like me to display scans of things from your own family, however, please try to supply the best possible scan that you can. If you ever get into genealogy, you will understand why. Getting back in touch with someone again, or getting a better scan when the technology gets better years later always proves difficult. That is a genealogical "Murphy's Rule." It happens every time. So I advise offering your best now, because tomorrow you WILL move and I WON'T be able to track you down. Proper credit will be given to you beneath the link to the photo. Some albums may contain scans of photos or documents or things that are in the possesion of other cousins, too. Where this has happened, I have made note of that below the link to the image. If you should borrow any of these images for use in your own genealogies, please be sure to properly make note of the owners of each photo in your Credits, Bibliographies, Acknowledgements, or the like. That's the polite thing to do when research is borrowed from other sources.

I'm working with practically unlimited space here, all for free, due to the kind donation of server space of a local friend with too many computers (see sidebar). Just attach a scan of it to an e-mail and send it to me (below), or ask me for my mailing address and I'll send it by e-mail. (I'd put my address up here, but with all the Internet "autobots" around that hunt around and swipe things like that off of web pages for spam purposes, now, I'd rather not give them that opportunity. So, I'll just send it by e-mail on request, instead.)
