Welcome to Ancestories!
I have always been interested in the little breadcrumbs humans leave behind as proof of their existence, whether they're conscious of doing it or not. Being one of these sentimental people, I have, over the years, become the custodian of various primary source records. Some of these documents have been passed down through my own family; some records are from friends who know my penchant for local history and research; and some sources are those which I've acquired myself, independently.
I am creating this website is so that I can make all of these original sources available to the wider community. Perhaps this is more of a vanity project - maybe I am the only one who finds these items to have any value. Hopefully, these will prove useful (or, at least, interesting.) Please feel free to get in touch and let me know.
This website is a work in progress. Some links won't go anywhere yet. I have MUCH more than what is currently presented here. Updates will be frequent.
