NOTE:
This site is always VERY under construction. I'm
working right now on the search function and figuring out an easier
way to display photos. I am also working on a design page to highlight
some of the site's greatness, because I would like to make family
history web sites for others.
 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 and back it up
often.
About
two 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 used to be 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, I've taken the basic pages created by my family
history program and the pedigree charts generated by another program
and I've integrated the two and designed my own family record
and pedigree web pages.
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!
