Several years ago, when our youngest was fourteen, he came home with a class assignment to do an auto-biography.
A section of the assignment was a family tree . He asked for my assistance and that is when I first became involved with researching our genealogy.
While growing up my parternal grandmother, Martha Clara Ogger Custer, was forever talking about those who came before us. To my shame, like most children, I couldn't understand her peroccupation with the past. Now that she is gone it is too late to ask her to answer so many questions .
This website will be used to post as many photos and documents I am able to locate that relate to the above mentioned surnames. My hope is to assist others researching the same families and to perserve these items for those who come after me.
Additions and/or corrections are gratefully received.
Best regards,
Barb
A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
