The purpose of this web page is to enable information sharing. Family trees like real trees start small and grow to be huge. That is the case here and the time and effort to keep updates posted to web page is tremendous. The practice followed by most Internet family trees is to show only early generations and that practice is being implemented here. The Big Family Tree expanded connections and updates will continue off line of this web site and if you have changes or corrections to these pages or would like to work off web with later generation interconnections you can still keep in touch using the E-mail, Postal mail or phone contact on http://mysite.verizon.net/bushwhak/tree
