The original web pages were created using Netscape Composer and WS_FTP LE. Since then I have started to use Dreamweaver 3.0 and its built in FTP capabilities. Frames and scripting have been intentionally avoided to insure that all persons, including those using WebTV, can take advantage of the information here.

My appreciation goes out to all of the Swarthouts, Swartwouts, Swartouts and Swartwoods, as well as so many other descendants that have kept the family history alive and are so willing to share. There are two in particular I wish to thank. Nelson M. Swarthout, who corresponded with me so many years ago, long before e-mail and shared what he knew, and continues to do so. Mary Swarthout Rindfleisch who has sponsored several reunions and has spent countless hours assembling her findings, and who's approval means so much to me!

This web site is truly a family affair. Scattered throughout these pages you will find the names of many contributors with various spellings of the name. I have attempted to credit everyone possible, but apologize for any shortcomings. Thanks Beverlee, Kathy H., Penny, John and all the rest who feed me bits and pieces and that all important encouragement!

I've been on my family genealogy for a little over ten years. I have twin daughters that are ten. That should suffice to provide the reason! I have found numerous interesting facts about the family and am fascinated about the variety of experiences found in their history. Here are some other sites that I maintain:

Ink For Blood - The David Fairchild Family - Another one of my ancestors and his family. They were 49'ers and early settlers in California and Nevada, helping shape and record the history of these states. Why the name "Ink for Blood"? Because they were printers!

	Suite101 - Real People Helping Real People - I write a 4-800 word article on North American Genealogy monthly. Topics have included how to find newspapers that your ancestors may have had delivered to their door, how to find military records and other sources of the history of your ancestors.
Lander County, Nevada, NVGenWeb Site - Because some of my relatives, brothers and cousins to my 3G Grandfather, Corydon Fairchild, settled there and they wrote about things happening there, I adopted this web site when it was orphaned.
	The World of Harry Potter - On a lighter note, my daughters and I have put this together, celebrating the wonderful world of imagination captured by J.K. Rowling. Special report with original photographs and a first hand description of the largest author reading in history!
