Hoopes Genealogy
Stories related to the Ancestors of John Hoopes
For years I, John Lamro Hoopes, was interested in searching for names of my ancestors, documenting them, and doing the temple work for them. But, names got harder and harder to find, and so, while I have not stopped researching names, I have found a new hobby. I now enjoy reading about the lives of my ancestors, those people who I once thought of as just names. Over the years I have compiled many stories related to my ancestors and the ancestors of my wife, the former Myrna Gale.
So, I have decided to share this information with more than just the people I know personally, using the Internet. While I have previously done this, I am doing it here with much more conclusiveness and much more finality. It boggles the mind how communication has advanced in my lifetime, from smoke signals and carrier pigeons in my youth, to IBM punch cards in my middle years, to the World Wide Web. I now have the capability to share everything I know with anyone who wants to know it.
I will stop with my explaining and simply move on to the stories. While most of the texts are written just about certain ancestors, some are about events in which my ancestors had a part, and some are even historical fiction. Anyway, here is the list of titles and brief explanations, but, like I said, none of them are very long and so you can just read them to find out what they are about. If you are not about opening endless links, or have a long hospital stay coming up, here are pretty much all the stories in one, printable file, indexed, about 656 pages.
Alternatively, if you are not the reading type, feel free to view this online album of historical pictures related to my ancestry. Even more alternatively, if you just want to take a quick look see at what I got, here are most of my pictures just thrown in a .pdf file (230 pages worth of pictures).
If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them. You can e-mail me at JLHoopes@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.
