Privacy Protection

I've added some privacy protection to the family history tree website, found at http://lepleys.org  This would include families with surnames: Hook, Sparks, Lepley, Jones, Kizer, Borger, Bryant, and all related families.

I still do not publish any living person's information beyond the very fundamental *and* public available name and dob. 

I've decided to add this level of security for a variety of reasons.  I have resisted doing this because it does add a step to viewing the data.  I regret this, but, I really feel I must. 

To obtain the user name and password, you'll need to reach out to me.  I've provided many avenues, so reach out however you want.  There's a contact me safe email form on all my websites, I've provided links to private facebook groups for each family grouping, many of you have my personal email address - which I do not publish online. 

On This Day.... Happy Anniversary John & Nellie

Ninety-Four years ago today, John Elston Stigleman took Nellie Gertrude Brownlett as his bride.  Aren't we all so glad he did?

If you'd like to see more about John and Nellie, Here are links to their media albums.

Family Tree Posters

I've created some family tree posters, available for download from the Photo Album Menu on the right.  More work is needed on this particular tree, however, this is what I have to date.  Enjoy.

Renewed Interest

My husband's

family has started their journey of discovery, and I am really having a lot of fun sharing in the newness of it.  You know, sometimes, when you just hit the proverbial wall of your own project, it's really helpful to help others on a fresh journey. And so it begins.  I'm creating this blog using tried and true pattern I've used on my Hook-Sparks blog for my genealogy work done on my maternal Grandmother's family.  I hope it will be helpful to you all to have the numerous links all saved in one place.
