This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project ten years ago. It has taken us around the world in search of family (and to just have fun). Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine (before that Ireland, Wales and Germany). A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected.
