Dang!@* I meant to post this 3 weeks ago, and just noticed it in the “Drafts” folder. No wonder no one had commented on this important new website feature. As promised, there is now a page in the Generations section called “Full Pedigrees.” Once on this page, you can select any of six family branches: Isaac Larson, Anna Moen, Dan Myers, Lillian Drayer, Gunder Sletten, and Helena Olsdatter. You will then see a window containing a tree of *all* known ancestors of that individual. Some of them are very large – Anna Moen’s is the biggest (thanks mainly to cousin Orrin), with about 850 names. You can then click on the name of any one of them to see a detailed 6-generation pedigree chart for him or her. There is also an index of individuals, a surname index, and a timeline for each of the six branches. I hope you enjoy this new feature, made possible by a free software program called GedBrows. It was a lot of work to get it presentable, and work through some technical difficulties, but worth it, I hope. A happy and prosperous New Year to all.

It looks like I’m the first to comment this time. In a word–wow! The easy access to all this data is amazing. (Easy for me, a whole lot more complex for Orrin, Aline and George who researched and put it all together in one place!) and as usual you deserve heaps of praise for all your efforts in posting it on the blog, George. It’s pretty fascinating stuff going back hundreds of years and finding our Moen lineage linked with the upper crust of western Europe. If linked through the “legitimate” lines we could all be in on ruling the world by now. But, who would want to do that?? I’m happy just being plain old non-royal ordinary me.
