Garrison Family Roots

I created this website to be a simple version of the previous incarnations of this website. It will list the trials and tribulations of researching my lines, both the well-documented and the “I’m pretty sure this ancestor was dropped off by an alien spaceship sometime in the 1850s.”

The genealogy page is currently open to everyone, but I encourage you to register, or at least contact me so we can collaborate on our shared lines. As soon as someone develops a bridge between Wordpress (my blogging software) and TNG (my genealogy website software) that makes you register to view the genealogy pages, I’m totally using that, so it’s probably in your best interest to register now.

When you register, you will receive an email from me asking how you’re related. This is simply so I know you’re a human and not an evil spambot with no soul.

I will moderate all comments so no spam gets through. So, if your comment isn’t posted right away, I haven’t gotten to it yet. Sorry in advance about any delay.

Please do not contact me with “Please send me everything you have on so-and-so.” I will be posting everything I have on this site. I will be slow getting it on here (I have a full-time job, a husband, a toddler, I’m writing a novel [yes, seriously], and I truly enjoy sleep) but everything I have on deceased relatives will eventually appear here ***if it doesn’t violate an agreement I have with another researcher or website I have a membership with***. If I’m just taking too dang long getting the information on here about the individual you’re interested in, please send me what you already have and we’ll compare notes.

I will not send you information on a living relative.

I think that’s all the fine print. Let the fun begin!
