It includes photos, documents, ancestor and descendent charts, a relationship calculator, timelines, and a great deal more. This is a new and evloving project and we welcome all suggestions, additions, corrections, biographies, stories, photos, and documents. Please contribute! (See our Wanted Section for specific requests.)

If you are a family member, you can register for a user account to see photos and details about living relatives. The general public is limited to viewing non-living individuals.

A very special thanks to Betsy Ann Mathieu, who provided almost all of the information and notes for the Sturgis branch.
