Favorite Links


I'll admit I put these links here as my own own personal bookmarks page but I hope they'll help you, too!
 

This is something new from Rootsweb!
                 Anyone who can make a gedcom can participate, and you don't need to maintain a webpage!

rootsweb world connect project

I maintain two databases there.
To go directly to either one, go to the link above and
enter the word cherie or the word john in the box next to "Jump to specific database".
 

I've been spending a lot of time in old cemeteries lately.
Click on the picture below to read a wonderful poem about the loneliness of unused graveyards.

The Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne Indiana is my favorite place in the world!
Check out their genealogical holdings and you'll see why!
