Welcome to the Lewis Archives Wiki!

This public site was created to publish document collections of interest to my family as well as other genealogists. Although Ancestry.com provides increasing capabilities, control over the information is limited to subscribers without giving read-only accounts to family members. Additionally, some family archives information is not really suited for Ancestry.com publication.

Everyone interested in family history has had the wish that someone had left more information behind that would help them answer questions or better understand events or relationships within the family. By sharing genealogy and family records, it is not only available to a wider audience, but also ensures that a location is created in an online digitized format, hopefully protecting it from loss.

Finally, I have a goal to capture family stories of ancestors into short pieces about so many interesting lives. This wiki contains stories and some pictures and videos and audio, but a much larger collection exists within the Lewis Family Archives, which is linked in the left sidebar and includes many public folders of larger collections of documents.

My Ancestry

A snapshot of my Ancestry page

My ancestry is shown on the left, along with the first four generations above me. This constitutes my great-great-grandparents (2GG). Although deeper documents are included in this archives, it gets tougher to display them the further back you go.

Some family names will be included as separate articles in this wiki, since there are documents and research that traverse multiple generations. Links to photo and document collections will be included in relevant locations, as will links to the Ancestry.com pages for those who subscribe.

Research Notes will exist on pages to accommodate ideas and analysis of the underlying research, documents, and photos in order to lead to a more complete understanding of families. It is hoped that these will culminate in a more complete story that can subsequently be linked back to Ancestry.com but will remain publicly accessible here.

Since this is a public wiki, users are encouraged to add commentary, include edits, and link to their own research or knowledge of data, documents, photographs, or locations of interest.

Family Groups

Ancestry's Family Group Record

While some genealogists use the pedigree chart, based on the Ahnentafel Numbering Method, I have always used the Ancestry Family Group Record approach since so much information and documents apply to both members of a family group.
