Biographies
-
I have written a few biographies of some of the more
significant characters in our family. They are compilations
of historical data sources interwoven with some of the cultural events that
were occuring during their lifetimes. The sources that I have
drawn upon are censuses, newspaper articles, ships' manifests,
and other relevant historical material.
