WELCOME! I started my GILSTRAP research with very little to work with, which meant scouring *every* GILSTRAP record in Georgia to eliminate who was not my family in hopes of finding out who is my family. That style of research meant that I accumulated a lot of data and worked on many extended GILSTRAPs in the process of hammering out my own lineage. My most focused research has been in Georgia, North Carolina, and Maryland, but I've branched out on a few occasions and will be happy to add more data as I acquire it.
Take a look around and enjoy the work that has been done. If you see a problem with work displayed here, please let me know. I hope that I am back in a position to do some hard-core research after some time away from this wonderful hobby.
Please contact me with any additions or corrections you can make. Happy hunting!
