How Koda!
"Hau Koda? Thanks for being here!"
This website is dedicated to a much cherished enduring friendship. It's been constructed as our way of saying thanks for the memories, and for coming to visit as often as you do. Hurry back! "We'll feed you good."
It's also dedicated to "reasonably exhaustive searches." Those are absolutely crucial if your genealogical research is going to lead to reliable results. It will only be when you have reconciled all of the many, many, many contradictions you will undoubtedly find, in 'the paper trail,' that your work will be done. "Nuff said, at least for the moment!" It's as simple as that! But ...... please make the effort and learn as much as you can about the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS).
Urging you to do that, by the way, is the most important of any suggestion that we can give.
It has not gone without notice that many in the White Cap community are intensely involved in studies of their families. We sincerely hope that this website will somehow, or other, be helpful to those people, and to others. It will always be a ‘work-in-progress.’ We hope to periodically add links and comment that may help the genealogists and family historians who visit here. And we sure hope that some of you will do the same by using the Suggestion Form found below, on the left side of this page, to send your recommendations. We will be happy to post those for you.
Cheers! ................................................................................................................................................................................. Lew and Dorothy
