Recently I made contact with descendants of Caroline Popp, daughter
of old John Popp, the family patriarch who came from Germany.  
Previously we had no data for this line.  All information forwarded by cousin Deborah
Bashoor is currently being added.




++ New! Family Story section ++
(Click on the "Stories" link under the "People" tab)

I have added 3 family tales.  

The first is 'My Life Aboard the LSM-319' by Eugene Carey - This is a portion of my
father-in-law's journal during his service in the US Navy during WWII.  Follow as he
is assigned to a new ship, meets his future wife, and then sails across the Pacific to
engage the Japanese in the battle for the Philippines.

The second is the Eulogy for Eugene.  - I was privileged to be asked by the Carey
family to write and deliver the story of his life.

Finally, there is the tale of my fractured pelvis and the subsequent harrowing
experience at the "Northwest's Leading Trauma Center".  You'll laugh, you'll cry,
you'll kiss 15 minutes good-bye...
