So, I have decided to share this information with more than just the people I know personally using the Internet. It boggles the mind how communication has advanced in my lifetime, from smoke signals and carrier pigions in my youth, to the World Wide Web. I now have the capability to share everything I know with anyone who wants to know it.
I will stop with my explaining and simply move on to the stories. While most of the texts written just about certain ancestors, some are about events in which my ancestors had a part, and some are even historical fiction. Anyway, here is the list of titles and brief explanations, but, like I said, none of them are very long and so you can just read them to find out what they are about.
