Hi!  I'm Jim Barry and I'm the Webmaster of this site.                        

>> EVERYONE!  IT WOULD PROBABLY PAY TO READ THIS OCCASIONALLY<<

LAST REVISED--October 8, 2008

First, I don't know why the site insists that adopted children are NOT related to their parents.  They are when I put the information into the program on my computer.  When it gets here, they aren't.

When they dropped the free limit on this site to 500 people, I gave up.  Contact me a jimbarry1946@aol.com if you have any questions.  My Barry tree now has over 2700 people listed not counting another thousand or so just under the father as his children on a facts list.

This is intended only to be a fun website.  I have virtually no sources listed.  I tried to be careful, but I relied extensively on others' research.  When there was a very obvious discrepancy, I did not include that part. 

Here are a few of my suggestions for getting the most from our website.  

Choose the "Photos" tab to get to a page of MANY picture albums.  Click on an album.  Some pictures are in several albums; some are in just one.  A few albums may be empty at this time, but I intend to fill them too.  When you choose a picture, the quality may be poor.  Right click and choose "refresh" to get a nicer version.

Another suggestion is to choose the "Family Tree" tab.  When that comes up, click on “Tree”.  Use full screen.  I suggest choosing the “Modern” setting at the bottom of the page.  On the right side is an up and down slider that controls the size of the info boxes of the individuals.   The quicker and easier way to navigate around the "tree" is to click and hold.  The "hand" can be moved up, down, right , or left as you wish.  The arrows in the circle will also take you around the tree.  The small, horizontal slide at the top determines how many generations are shown.  I suggest moving it all the way to the right so it says "5+".

The "People" link takes you to a list of names of the all the people in this tree.  The "View" selection on the far right side gets you to all the information I have for that individual.  Some people have no info, others have a great deal, it just depends on what I have had available to enter into the tree.  I'm always on the lookout for more.  You can try the "More" selection too.

The “Families” choice gives a list of all the individual marriages and info about them as in “People”.

The "Reports" and "Charts" are interesting too.

Send pictures, facts, anecdotes, any kind of information to me at:  jimbarry1946@aol.com

Feel free to navigate around on your own too.

Our family tree is posted online on this site! There are 2500 names in our family site. The earliest event is the birth of Gapt\Gaut of the Goths (Feb 2). The most recent event is the death of Helen Barry (born Smalley) (Jan 1987).
