Grandpa Jay W. Sterner so loved to write; and he loved to take photos, as well. ...Lots of them. There is so much amassed herein that I've been giving serious thought to naming this particular photo album the "Jay W. Sterner Online Memorial," or perhaps the "Jay W. Sterner Online Virtual Musuem." It is fast becoming almost just that. There is SO much here...

Many of the items herein listed were found to be in the possession of Muriel E. (Gregory) Sterner, dau. of Anne Agnes (Tolmie) Gregory. Muriel died on July 18th, 2001, unfortunately, after fighting a long battle with alzheimers; so no more questions can be asked of her, and she now rests in peace with God.

Many of these items came very close to being thrown away, one day, some years ago, and I was able to rescue them.

...You're welcome.

These pages show photos, documents and items having to do with our STERNER line. This also includes the associated lines of DISBROW, GREGORY, and some others. It is hoped that by placing this information on the web for other family members to view, that it might perhaps inspire a thought in someone that had not occured to the author. Maybe it might cause someone to remember a document THEY had in THEIR attic which could answer a question. Maybe they might also share a scan of that document, here. Maybe this information will help another family member who makes a trip to England or Scotland to do some research into these lines, saving them time and wasted effort on what would be an already expensive trip. Maybe this site will just be a fun and intersting perusal for a family member. If any one of the above happens, then it has served it's purpose.

Got a family photo, document, postcard or similar that you think is important and that you would like to share with the family? 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 it 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.) All rights to your image will remain with you and, if you wish, I'll even add paint a copyright notice at the base of the image for you to protect your family's rights to it (if none already exists on it, that is).
