I was thinking about how we could get more family members to join. So I am asking for your help. I am not sure if member can invite others to join, but if we can please send them an invite. You could also ask them to take a look at the website so they may ask for a membership or send me the name with an email and I can invite them. The more people we have involved the better the information will be.
If anyone has any corrections please make them. Also looking for family photos and New additions to the family tree.
