Special Information for Genealogy Pages
Memories are  "that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude."
— Wordsworth


Having a web page devoted to your family history is a great way to share your information with others, including your own family members. Using the Internet people can look at your pages to see if their lines and yours  "connect," bringing about the possibility that either you or they will be able to learn more about your family lines. You may want to make sure those stories about Great-Uncle Ed in the wild west are never lost or that precious photos are available to others. This is the way to do it! 

As a researcher for my own family lines, I understand the importance of presenting genealogy pages in a way that will truly honor the memories of those we hold dear. In keeping with the Inward Eye philosophy, the web pages I create are not nerve-jangling, ear-splitting, noisy, light-flashing pages. The pages here are meant to be informative, attractive, and tasteful.

Other Genealogy-Related Services
In addition to having a regular web page, some people like to have their computerized genealogy information translated into a web page format for use on the web. This is accomplished through use of GEDCOM files, which can be produced by most computer genealogy programs. If you'd like more information about this, please let me know in the comment section of the Inquiry Form

I can also provide genealogical data entry for use in a web page or  importing into your own program, as well as photo and document scanning.

How It All Began for Me
My interest in genealogy began in 1987, when my husband's elderly mother asked us to dispose of an old container she said she no longer needed. Fortunately, we were curious and opened the container, because inside were a Civil War-era discharge paper for my husband's great-grandfather, a discharge from the British Army for another Johnston, and a 1900 letter written by a mystery man to "Dear Brother" (no one in the family recognized his name). A few weeks later my mother handed me a package of letters written to my 2nd ggrandfather in the 1850-1885 period, along with some newspapers of similar vintage, tax receipts, and other scraps of paper. 

The addiction had begun! We haunted Family History Centers, libraries and courthouses, and we used our vacations to stomp graveyards, copy original records, and meet "new" cousins. Feel free to check out my genealogy pages to see more about our family histories. Just  a note, though: because those pages are on a different server you will need to use your "back" button to return here. To Beth's Genealogy Pages.
