Follett Freesite was started in year 1999 by Bonnie Follett of San Francisco thanks to Rootsweb.com. The genealogy of the Follett family has been the main subject of the site but has grown over the years with input from many individuals who have been very helpful and have shared information. This has inspired new spurts of research into the family and also related families. A few individuals from my own personal family tree has now grown to a coherent web of over 1790 individuals. My Gedcom information can be found by clicking the link on the left menu to WorldConnect Gedcom,
For those who are new to researching their family genealogy, I hope you will find, as I did, that a renewed sense of "connectedness" results. All of us have come from a long line of individuals, who lived lives rich in the history of their times. Some we know and some we've never met.
One couple simply marrying, settling down and having children can, over the unfolding generations, be responsible for whole "tribes" of related family groups who will travel and spread out throughout not only their country of birth but also some may migrate to other countries and places throughout the world.
NOTE: This site is presently under reconstruction as the old site was a hodge podge of efforts over the past several years and was badly out of date. Some links may not presently be active, but please do come back to the site in the coming weeks. - BF. Jan. 22, 2011.
Have fun exploring and I hope you will enjoy this website! |
