I did not know how addicting family research could be untill I actualy started  it my self. I rememberd when I was a little girl my grandmother Alice Rupert   was looking for her brother Henry she would put adds in news papers in every  state that she knew he had been in but never heard from him. My grandmother  never realy knew much about her dads side of the family. Just before  she died  she sent away for his birth certificate and the man at the birth records in  canada knew of the last name and contacted a man who turned out to be her  second cousin. He wrote to my grandma and told her a little about her family  that she never got to meet. my grandma died in 1987. I knew how inportant it   was to my grandma to find her brother so when I got my computer in 2002 I  thought that I would try to find him.

I heard about genealogy.com how you can put names in the search and and search  for family . So I put my  grandmas brothers name in and didnt find his name so   I found out that on that site you can leave mesages on the forums so I put in  my grandmas dad and her mom and my grandpas parents names and left mesages  about them and with in a week I was hearing from people that my dad didnt even  know exisited. It became so addicting that I couldnt get off of my computer.

So I created this site to share every thing that I have gathered from reltives  and other people. In no way am I finished I still have lots more names  and  dates to add. Hopefuly every thing is corect. If not I  appoligize. IF any body has any information or photos they are willing to share I cant wait  to recieve it.
