Much of my research is
done on
www.ancestry.com. There I have over 1000 family tree
members, with over 2800 records to support findings as well as over
400 photos and /or stories. I have attempted to provide much of that
same information on this website so that extended family and other
amateur genealogists can have access to this information free of
charge.
Family tree research is an ongoing process. Mistakes can be made.
As new information is discovered, it sheds new light on the past. Be
mindful of this process.
All the research information I have compiled is posted on either
here and/or on
www.ancestry.com.
As the intent of this site is to share information and historical
accounts free of charge, no articles or information from this site
may be reproduced for a profit by anyone other than the copyrighted

Excerpts.
A considerable
amount of information on the Raffety family was documented
in a loose leaf-book compiled by Charles E. 'Count' Raffety.
It appears the majority of his research was conducted in the
late 1960's and early 1970's.
Mr. Raffety states in his book that it is his intention as a
genealogist to simply share his research with future
generations and therefore his book was not for sale. But, he
documented his plan to make the loose leaf book available in
archives. He created it in loose leaf format so that it
could be amended.
In honor of his efforts, and to ensure his work is
appreciated in a broader forum, I transcribed several of the
pages. I have posted them here and on ancestry.com. Others
have also transcribed his findings and posted them on
ancestry.com.
