Welcome my Family Tree website! I have been working on my family tree on and off for many years. I find it very interesting to know where I have come from and who my family is. This site focuses primarily on my ancestor’s and the ancestors of my children, hence the name “A Link to the Past”. I enjoy putting together the puzzle of the past to unveil the picture of my family tree and all it's intricacies. I use a database program called Family Tree Maker to keep track of over 8000 individuals that I have in my family tree. I have also been exploring DNA testing to assist with verifying my connections; please see my DNA Testing page for more information. If you are a family member or someone researching the same surnames as me, please send me an email, it is always a pleasure!
