The following items have been collected and transcribed by a variety of family members. Many of them are in "pdf" files which
can be viewed easily using Adobe Acrobat Reader. In some cases, a printed version
will be more readable than viewing it on screen. If you don't have this
software installed on your computer, it is easy to find and install. It is distributed free of charge.
