 Hi, From the Ivy's. We live in a small town in central Texas, where everyone is related one way or the other. My husband retired from the US Army in 1992 and we moved here to his home town. We have just started doing our family history (Oct 96)and I just started using the internet, so please check back, hopefully the page will get better as I learn. (lest it will have more links. I want to Thank "GeoCities" for giving me this opportunity to have a home page. If I, the computer klutch, can create a home page, then you should have no problems, Stop by GeoCities, after looking at this page first, of course, and see how easy it is. Please stop and sign the guest book below. I am the volunteer for the Mills County, TX GenWeb site and will help do look-ups and searches for this area of Texas, Just Write Me. |
