The original stays with the story.
Records point back to a named source and, where available, the exact page. A scan, a transcription, and a researched conclusion are different things. We label them clearly.
A place for

Where the stories begin.
Family books, photographs, and historical records form the foundation of this archive.
Page references use the PDF page number, which may differ from a printed book’s page number. Original files are preserved unchanged; public pages are reviewed separately.
A family archive,
built with care.
This is a place to keep what has been passed down—and make it easier for the next generation to find.
Our history can keep growing.
Family photographs and documents come first. Later research will add evidence and context, with new sources documented alongside the original collection.
Living family members keep their privacy.
The public collection focuses on historical material. Private contact information and personal details about living relatives are not included in public records or search.
How to read and search the archive
Enter a name, place, or year in the search box. Use the branch and record-type filters to narrow your results. Open a record to read the transcription and compare it with the scanned page.
Machine transcriptions can misread names, dates, and older printing. If wording is uncertain, use the original image as the reference. A book’s account is historical evidence, not automatic confirmation of every detail it contains.
A note about the first collection
This is the beginning of a larger family archive. Some pages are still being checked for legibility, privacy, and correct source attribution. An item being cataloged does not mean its full contents have been published.
