I, Dennis Ayers, am not a professional genealogist, and this website is not an official publication of any kind.  It is solely for the enjoyment of my family and friends. The information herein is a compilation of material drawn from official sources, historical research and information obtained from other persons who have shared their family research on the internet.  I conscientiously try to acknowledge information obtained from the hard work of others where credit is due. There are errors to be sure, but the information posted is correct to the best of my knowledge and research. Since it is basically a living document, I make corrections and changes to previously posted articles when I become aware of the need. I have no monetary affiliations with any commercial entity.  I use a variety of tools and sources for developing my family history information, and I subscribe to several on-line databases such as Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, World Vital Records, etc.  I also belong to two county genealogical/historical societies, and I subscribe to several genealogy magazines and on-line newsletters.
