Before you start....

Keep in mind that this family history is a work in progress. The objective of this blog is to highlight particularly interesting things I find during the course of my research of the Glass and Raysor families. I continue to add data, as well as sources to data I've already collected. It is hoped that this blog format will make it easier for you to find some of the more interesting family history information while still providing you a means of going back to the tree on ancestry.com to view all of the info on the individuals mentioned. The information presented on this blog is truly only the tip of the iceberg.

You can click any of the links in the left sidebar to go directly to the family tree for further info on any individual. (If you've forgotten your login for ancestry.com, contact Duff or Karen.)
You're also invited and heartily encouraged to add photos, stories and comments on the ancestry.com site.

Also, if you're receiving daily updates from Ancestry.com on stuff that's added to the tree each day and you can't figure out how to opt out, you can go here for instructions on how to turn that feature off. (Or click the button near the bottom of the left sidebar.) I heartily encourage you to turn the ancestry.com alert feature off, and instead, sign up for blogarithm updates by filling out the ban RSS feed (see box at the top of the left sidebar.) That way, you won't miss any of the really interesting stuff I uncover, but you won't get a million alerts regarding updates to my side of the tree.

Note that when I describe someone as being "your" great-parent, the relationship is described in relation to Duff, Chris, Tim or David. Chris' kids: add a generation to that stated relationship.
