A family history is about more than one family. To start with the main families are Hass, Croteau, Horth & Joseph but we are also working on Lisa’s family history which includes Kelly, Campbell, Hoare, Marchington and Wilsons.

To all the people who have helped me with this search, THANK YOU. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]
