~Lest We Forget ~


    Mankinds inhumane treatment to his fellow man has been the subject of many discussions. In the club we determined that members wanted to have a full scope of the history of our ancestors: the good, bad, and ugly. Not all of our ancestors were treated kindly, and not all of our ancestors were kind. These pages may assist you in searching for your ancestors as many have searchable indexes. They will also provide you with information that will allow you to have a full picture of the times your ancestors were living in. We never know what our ancestors were thinking, but by the use of these web pages you may have a better idea of the environment and times your ancestors grew up in and was exposed to on an every day basis.
