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.

This site is maintained by Scott Evon Lewis, reachable at LewisArchives.
