Pam, Jim, Jeff, J.P., and Michelle,
My project to update the 2008 Family Tree is proceeding nicely. The Family tree now has 2,116 people, 1,130 photos, and 121 stories with 2,535 records. In addition to reaching out to you, I have been using Facebook and email to communicate with Beth Gamache and Janet (Lucas) Welsh). Beth is my cousin, Jack’s wife, and Janet also is my cousin. Both live in Maine.
There are five documents that I think are interesting, so I’m asking you to read and share them with the kids and their spouses. I have yet to add Duryea, Grap, McMahon, or Portal surnames. I would do so if I get some data from the family. Minimally, I need birthdates for grand-parents and the maiden names of the wives. Pictures are always welcome.
The focus for me began with the Elcik and McClanahan surnames. I have added Adams, Brekke, Byrus, DeRosa, Duryea, Gamache, Gruhl, Jorgenson, Karkos, Kashmer, Skillin, and Strand to get to where I am today.
Technically, this is a never-ending project, but I will let this wind down soon. If you wish to view the Family Tree or contribute or need me to resend the invitation to access, let me know.
Dad
