The intent of this section is to eventually have an interactive pedigree tree of my family tree database that can be easily viewed and searched. The stories I am presenting on this site reflect only a tiny fraction of the people whose lives are a part of my family's past. An interactive pedigree tree would make the full range of my genealogy database widely accessible.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to make that happen yet. I'm still looking for the right software that will create an attractive interactive tree in "html" format from my "gedcom" files. So far, most of the freeware and shareware I have looked at is quite crude. Apparently, the really good Java applets have been copyrighted as proprietary software by the large commercial genealogy web sites.

In the meantime, use this link to access an InterneTree version of my files at Genealogy.com:

• My Home Page at Genealogy.com

Genealogy.com has four online InterneTrees on my homepage created from my genealogy databases. Information on this web site about living individuals is kept private.

The information is found in four different trees because in 2008 I encountered a significant unrecoverable error in my database of over 2,200 individuals. To avoid losing everything in the future, I have created four smaller trees representing different branches of our growing family.

At the Genealogy.com web site you can view interactive trees of:

• The Struckmeyer - Sagner Family
• The Ochonicky - Baer Family
• The Skalla - Ridge Family
• The Masson - Case Family

These will be updated frequently as I do more research.
