 DisclaimerI am an Amateur Historian, and Genealogist.
 I use every source I can find, old newspapers, census, archives, 
			etc.
 I do a quick search for the names on these pages.
 Therefore I do NOT profess to have 100% accurate information.
 Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
 I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
 I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
 or buy a local history book for more info.
 I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
 If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it 
			takes me.

 A "link" to my pages, does the same thing.
 Just copy the hyper link, URL, shown in your browser above,
 and paste that into facebook etc.,
 or copy the links I have on the left side.
 That is the honest and descent way to to do it!
 
Duplicates online?Note- You will see some of the same pictures,
 on other Archive / Museum sites online.
 (Without my watermarks, and copyright information obviously.)
 Reason- Most of these photos were commercial postcards,
 and multi copies were made and sold.
 All have different writing on the back is the difference.
 I don't include all the backs to save bandwidth, but have them in my data.
 Trust me, I DO NOT STEAL ARCHIVE PHOTOS!
 I hope they, and others, Do NOT Steal mine!
