NOTE:  This site is always changing. 

Hello, and welcome to the Lucas Family History website.  I began working on family history when I was about 14 years old.  My aunt on my father's side sent me all her information and I helped her out when I could.  When I was about 20 I started working on my mother's side of the family and now go back and forth between the two.  It was also about that time that I got my first computer.  I typed in all the information I had in an early family history program and printed out group sheet pages and pedigree charts.  I started visiting the Mormon family history centers in Salt Lake and in my area and looking up more information.  Now I don't bother to print anything out, I just keep it all on my computer

About five years ago I decided I wanted to make a web site for my family history.  I have lots of other sites that I do for fun and I wanted to do this for my family.  Since I am a web designer, I wasn't overly happy with the quality of web pages that were made by family history software programs.  I also noticed that many of them didn't even bother with pedigree charts.  So over the years, for a long time I took the basic pages created by my family history program and the pedigree charts generated by another program and I integrated the two and designed my own family record and pedigree web pages. Then I found RootsMagic. I still make changes to all the pages so they look more how I want them to, but it's the best program for creating full web sites that I've found (this is not a paid endorsement).

The Lucas line is my father's side of the family.  In honor of my mother's side of the family this site is mirrored, almost exactly, at Lee Family History.  Thanks!
