RANDOM NOTES
You can click on any photograph to make it larger. An iPad or similar device is also great for enlarging pictures and documents to make them easier to see or read.
Captions can be added to any photo, so if you want to add or correct a caption, let us know.
You should find comment boxes following all recollection and biographical entries, and at least one comment box on each page of photographs, places and events.
The overall structure of this website is very flexible and easily modified, so don't hesitate to make suggestions about how to improve it.
We've made a start on adding all the names listed on Florence Roberts' gigantic family tree that John Mason shared with us at the Wisconsin family reunion, and eventually we'll all be listed under 'People'. Please let us know if we've forgotten someone you think should have an entry (or even better, write a little something about that person for us to add).
There's so much we don't know. We're really looking forward to learning more about our family from all of you, and hope you enjoy discovering new things about our family's history as well.
