So you want to share pictures but only have them in the negatives, no actual print. No problem. There are apps you can download in your phone to be able to turn your nagatives into digital images from the comfort of your home, free. (which can be printed) or you can temp send negatives to me and I can do it for you, then send the negatives back to you. I use an app called filmbox in the google play store. Lets get those negatives into digital pictures and share pictures on our website!! Loves, Mary

I would like to start producing newsletters for our family (all sides) but I need help. Sure I could probably do this alone. However I think it would be more exciting if we all worked together. But need help with articles, histories, story telling, childhood stories, even recipies passed down to you. I think this would be a blessing for generations. It's free, will be in pdf format. I will upload here on our site and make it a public file so more can be shared with all. Who is with me? It only takes a small bit of time 1 time a year. I am going to produce 1 magazine/newsletter 1 time of year.

Hello all, I cannot share enough how vital sharing your records are for our family and for future generations. Years ago Ethel Briggs passed some of her collection to my mom and I. She asked us that we share the records and what she gave to us in trust. So it has been our mission to honor her wishes. She gave many other families records as well and my only wish is that they also share to honor her hard work. When I say share I am not ever asking for anyone to send or give me originals EVER. Let's be clear on that first thing. With the digital age and easy scanning and printing options I am simply asking for you to take a picture or scan of your records an…

Hello all, I need volunteers to help me do research on our family history. I need someone willing to also post your research here on our website. Pictures, documents, and resources. Tagging: When you tag each item (you will see that option anytime you post anything.) [Remember put a comma beside each word you type in the tag area example--> cogswell ]Once you do that and click space it makes the word an active tag. Which turns it into a link of sort. When someone uses our search option they can find related content of all items tagged. Anyone want to help make this website successful? I do realize I started the website, but I did do it for us, all …

I want to thank you for trusting me with your genealogy records, pictures and personal items that you have collected over the years. I am thrilled to continue this research. I will be slowly adding much of it to our website so others can benefit from this information as well. Thank you so very much Don. Don sent me 7 or 8 boxes loaded with binders filled with records. Much are on his mothers side. But several on ours and other Gay surname families during his research, so not all will apply to our site, but tons of it will. Thank you again Don. Blessings, Cousin Mary
