This website is dedicated to the memory of:
Mary Jo Brown
1929-2003
My name is Ryan Wadleigh and I live in Seattle, Washington. This website is the product of more than 25 years of my own research, as well as the countless amount of research that has been done by those in the past and those who have collaborated with me and helped me in my pursuits. I could not have been so successful in my research had it not been for the invaluable assistance of so many people.
It is my goal that this website will be useful to many people. I think that relatives and family members with little or no interest in genealogy will enjoy some of the photos and short family histories. My documentation and sources should also be useful to fellow genealogists. I must stress that the information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate or free of errors and my research itself or my reasoning might be flawed. Please use caution when taking information from this site. This is a work in progress, and I am continually adding information. If you have any ideas or information to add, please do not hesitate to e-mail me (ryanwadleigh@yahoo.com).
My interest in genealogy is primarily motivated by a passion for history and storytelling. I think our ancestors had fascinating lives that are taken for granted by current generations. With my research, I hope to bring some life to these fascinating people. As a result, my focus on genealogy is less about names and dates and more about stories. If you can help, please do!
Take a moment and read through my new genealogy blog about family history research.
