Biographical Sketches

Scattered around the country are a lot of County and local history books that contain references to family members as well as biographical sketches. Some contain drawn portraits of ancestors. We will find as many of these as we can and place on this page. They will be in Adobe Acrobat format so interested parties may copy, print, and retain for their files.

 

We will list the name of the person, their date of birth  and death, and the source of the sketch.

 

If anyone has copies they want to share, please let Nick Weedman know. Hyperlinks to his e-mail are on other pages on this web site.
