This is a personal archive of family genealogy files/photos/memorabilia from several different family branches. They include the family names: Cole, Gates, Shaw, Hymer, Payson, Gettinger, and many many more.
I have been given genealogy files and boxes of photos & such from multiple family members from EVERY side of my and my children's families, and am beginning to sort/organize everything into easily accessible files. These family treasures have been sitting in boxes unseen for so long, and I cannot WAIT to share them with anyone who might be interested!
As I sort through everything, I would love to share a weekly post highlighting just a couple goodies, along with any connected information I may have. PLEASE share this site with other family members! This is not just my history, it's all of ours. Family history is meant for sharing, so if you have a cousin, aunt, brother... anyone who may be interested, please share the link so they too can learn about our collective family histories!
There is a lot here and so far I haven't done more than dip my toes into personally adding to these files, but I am ready & eager to begin just that. First, however, I need to organize what others have already collected. Here is a photo sharing where I am in that process right now. These boxes just arrived at my house this past weekend. I'll be elbows-deep sorting things for awhile, as some of these boxes contain information from literally EVERY side of my family.
Let's learn about our history together!
