Connecting the world, one cousin at a time.
Although this page is perpetually “under construction” as we continue to find obscure historical figures with interesting stories to tell, it is currently undergoing a complete overhaul, so please, pardon our dust.
Bulleted items without links are included as a “to do” list for the writers, and are subject to possible removal.
