The compiler hopes that you have enjoyed the experience and that it has given you more insight into your roots.  There remain areas where our knowledge is sketchy and incomplete, but efforts are being made to complete the story.

Many stories are still out there begging to be told.  More family records are probably stored away as well.  They hopefully will in the near future be forthcoming so that they may be chronicled for all to see and experience.
