This site has been created by Chris, after his father Lucien had started collecting a large dataset of relatives. It is intended to be used by anyone connected to us. We would like to record all connections, while respecting the privacy of living individuals.
This site hosts information of anyone who is related to persons already listed on the website. If you think you should have access, please go to the "login" screen and request an account. Please explain your relationship and once a moderator has processed your request, you will receive an email with instructions to complete the registration process.
Please be patient, some of my tests have indicated that it could take about 15 minutes for the email to be sent.
