The family tree companion. In a genealogy that has 600+ names (with more branches constantly being added), there are bound to be some interesting stories & colorful characters. Check out the "Branches" links to find stories, pictures & family lore.
The "Tree Tender"
Just in case you are wondering about the mind behind the "branches"... well, it's just me, Julie, a leaf on the branch.
This whole thing started about 14 years ago when my then 4th grade son had to do a poster type family tree project that needed to go back to great-grandparents. Well, THAT was easy!
Then, he got to 8th grade, & another family tree project was assigned. This time, he needed to do pedigree charts & family record sheets. And there were extra credit points for pictures, & places, & additional generations.
Needless to say, I got a bit carried away. OK, if you know me, I got VERY carried away. And long after his project was done, I kept going. And going. And going.
Let's just say that CDO* people should not be given free reign to play with genealogy! (*It's like OCD, but in alphabetical order, like ti should be!)
And with the advent of this online opportunity, I think I know what I will be doing for some time to come :)
