Welcome
Welcome to the site.... many hours have gone into getting this up and running, so many versions of the site have come and gone over the years... now, I'm going to add this static site for the family to use, some of it will be visible to the general public if they find their way here, but most of it will be private, family only...
So, create yourself and account by clicking the link on the bottom of the menu to the left, and send me an email, so I know who you are, and I will make the changes so you have access to the private areas...
The family tree section will be in and working shortly.
The map section is now working so feel free to locate your home on the map and place a marker. Jim

I am in the process of designing a new site for the private area, something that will give me a bit more flexibility with the site. The current site will remain up and running until I am 100% sure the new one is ready and working correctly, so we don't go through the growing pains I did with this one, where I didn't realize the rest of you did not have the rights to upload pictures and things like that.... Hopefully it will only take a few weeks, I have already begun working on portions of it on another site for testing, so now I just need to tie it all together and make it presentable. Jim
In the Picture gallery I have posted images of old census records, and a few draft cards I could locate, all pertaining to the family, or in couple of cases, potential family, just some data to back up my research.
There are duplicates of quite a few... my fault for getting in a hurry and letting my upload software work without me...
Let me know if you have trouble viewing any of it.
Jim
The photo albums are working again, and this time you should all be able to create your own albums and upload pictures...
If you're having trouble, let me know
Jim
The tree is back online.... please go over your section of the tree and be sure everything is correct. If you see something wrong, email me with corrections please so I can make it right as quickly as possible.
Missing names, misspelled names, incorrect or missing dates... all of it... the site is locked down, so no one will be accessing the data outside of family.
Okay, i'm back on track. The installed a different picture gallery, the pictures will be back online this weekend, and you should all have access to create folders and upload pictures if you like.
The tree section is all working again, and I have almost finished the updated tree to upload back to that portion of the site as well, it should be up again soon.

Cheryl VanHoose found the family tree page from an old family bible passed down to her by her mother, that one little page finally provided us with the names of John McCurdy Williamson's parents. The were John Williamson and Harriet McCurdy.
I will be adding a section in the photos area that will have copies of census data, draft cards, and such, and I will add this page from the family bible there once I get it set up.
The family tree section is working again, I had some problems with software upgrades, but they are resolved and the tree will be uploaded again soon.
Jim
I have had some corrections submitted, but the emails came with no detail.
I fixed the problem, so now they will work correctly, but I don't know what the changes were that were sent for 2 Bishop's on May 30th, and Charles Williamson on 1/8/2007.
Please send me the changes again.
I will have this worked out pretty soon so that changes can be made on the fly....
