Welcome to the Family Ancestry.

This was created by Ken Shaw in March 2005. The information was collected primarily by my mother Pauline (Strait) Shaw with later help from Kathy (Popkowski) Kinney (we have common Great-Grandparents - Sprague/Moore). It represents a point in time and is intended to allow our decedents a glimpse into their ancestral background.

This system functions using HTML pages only so that any Internet browser is all that is necessary to view the pages. The information is presented in two forms - an Information Page which consists of the information on the individual and his/her immediate family and secondly, a Family Tree page which provides a chart of the three previous generations. All names on both types of pages are links to the information for that individual.

The original system was in the ancestry section of kashaw.com, accessable with a user ID and password, but this is no longer maintained. You can now access a much more extensive public version from the ancestry section of kashaw.com/Ancestry. (http://kashaw.com/ancestors/password.htm) It was placed on the public site to preserve the information for future generations.

Enjoy the information. To keep it interesting you'll find a variety of interesting anecdotes and pictures mingled with the facts.
