Welcome to our family history web site. This site is maintained by Jared & Mary Smith. This is a work in progress - if you'd like to help, please let us know. All family members are welcome to contribute. If you have corrections or important additions, please let us know. At this time, this site presents records for direct ancestors only (not siblings, other spouses, etc.).
Why this site?
When we began our family history, we quickly learned that family history work was difficult. Genealogy could best be defined as the art of perpetuating rumors and the science of doing so in innovative ways. We quickly found that much of the 'accepted' history is incorrect or incomplete. It is difficult to find original sources, documents, or evidence. This site is our way of compiling and sharing an accurate family history.
We are doing our best to ensure that all information published here is reasonably correct. We are not simply adding the published histories and family lines, but are trying to verify that all information is accurate, and we will provide verification sources wherever possible. We hope this will be a fun, useful, and informative place for us and all of you to learn about our ancestors.
