I started genealogical research on my family 20 years ago. I stopped when hitting the proverbial 'brick wall'. Recently, I started a family picture project, putting all pictures my family members had on disk in chronological order, and also in categories, and it renewed my interest in family history. My hope is that, after 20 years, more records will have been collected, organized, and even digitized, and maybe I can get through that 'brick wall'. Names in particular that I am looking to reconnect with are: Toupin/Alpine, Hackett, White, Phetteplace and Cotnoir, and their related lines.
