Although the information presented on this web site is accurate to the best of our knowledge, we have made no attempt to meet the rigorous standards of proof required to document lineage for genealogical purposes.  That is why we describe our site as "A Photographic Scrapbook".  See the article, "Computerized Trolling" by Richard A. Pence, for some interesting comments on Web sites vis-à-vis genealogical standards.

Because this site contains lots of  images, the pages may be slow to load.  'Thumbnail' images are used to provide an initial view of each image.  Click on the thumbnail to see a larger image.  Because of the increasing availability of High Speed access (via ADSL or cable connections) this site has been designed for high speed connections.  If you are using a telephone modem please be patient. I hope that you can get a DSL or cable modem soon!  Thanks, Mardon)
