Hello, anyone who happens to be reading this! Welcome to my genealogy page!
I'll introduce myself in a bit, but first, a few words about this site. If you want to look at just the genealogy I have on this site, click Genealogy Reports in the menu above (please note, these posts each have their own Ahnentafel numbering system). Profiles will be more in-depth posts about an individual, or maybe a couple of individuals, but it will be primarily in narrative format. Stories is just what it sounds like, as are Photos and Corrections & Additions. News will be where you can find my articles about specific genealogical topics- like where to look if you want to research people from the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. There are also labels and a search bar along the right hand side if you want or need to quickly find an individual.
Now for the introductions. As you may have guessed from the title of this page, my name is Kristi. I've been researching my family history with my mom's help since I was in middle school, and have grown more and more interested in it as time has gone on. We've been able to make such discoveries as having ancestors on the Mayflower, a third-great-grandfather who died in a shipwreck on the Great Lakes, some cousins in the White House, and another cousin who died in the worst school-related disaster in US history (the Bath School Disaster). On one side of my family, I am a fourth (and in some lines fifth) generation Michigander, and on the other, the family has barely even been in the US that long. My family, as near as we can tell, is Dutch, English, German, Scottish, and Irish.
Thanks for checking out my site!
