A Word from Our Volunteers


"I make mistakes. I am not perfect, and neither is anyone else in the world. What is important is that people looking for family records can find them. We are all here to record the records of families from all around the world and help people.”
~ Dee ~

"I love being able to contribute to family history research. Thank you to all who are likewise contributing. Your efforts have helped me find even more of my family."
~ Naomi ~
