Families
When I began this project I first started gathering information about my parents’ and Elizabeth’s parents’ ancestors. Then I added my daughter’s and son’s spouses’ families, then the families of parents of our nephews and nieces (my and my wife’s brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.). As I gathered more information about the ancestors and decedents of my brothers’ and sisters’ spouses and my wife’s brother’s and sister’s spouses (parents of our nephews and nieces), and our 2 kids’ spouses the number of family names began growing exponentially (15 families). I decided to use these 15 families as the “CORE” families for the site and relegate all the others to the status of “RELATED” families. That just meant I intended to concentrate my searching on finding information about these families and add information about the others as I came across it. The key, central, or home person in each of the core families is the person that makes the family one of the core families i.e. my parents, Liz’s parents, our kid’s spouses and the spouses of our brothers and sisters who were parents of our nephews and nieces.
