OUR FAMILY

Each Monday brings a new Tale!

Welcome! I’m so happy you're here.

This is where I share stories of our ancestors and the places they lived.

Join me as I dig up family tales from the past.

If you have tales of the Revis, Oswald, Koprek, or Haupt families,

please contact me so that we can document them!

I also will be posting about families that are further back

in time like Edwards, Alley, Courtenay, and more!

Although I have been doing family sleuthing since 1975,

I am an amateur genealogist.

I welcome any verifications as to ancient lineage.

Enjoy the Tales!
