Genealogy and Family History

I’ve tried to document each item in this genealogy. There will be errors as there are errors in original source material as well as my own mistakes. I’ve had much help from other researchers and I hope I have helped a few across some of their barriers. If anyone finds something here that they object to, please let me know so I can fix or remove the offending material. I would hope never to find any of this material in a collection being sold for profit. Since, much of the information for certain individuals is contained in compendiums that were sold for profit it would not be a good idea to copy this stuff without permission. For much of the information that can be found in for profit publications, I have two and sometimes more other sources for the same information. The original information was supplied by family members anyway. If anyone finds something here of value to them, please let me know. My email address is on the bottom of the home page.

They have other offices, but this is one I know about. Call the 800 number and tell them what you want, they’ll give you the current rate of exchange. They then set up an account for you (free service) and tell you the amount you need to send them including a service charge. Once they receive your money they send you the check. It’s very easy for the other party to cash.

Reusch has raised their rates, but this company still charges $5. The number is toll–free.
