Private Book Access

Welcome to my family page (the private access version).

Because genealogy is a never-ending process, and one I expect to work on for some time, I decided to create this site to get our family history to you. This seems much more efficient than printing the books, and sending them out, especially if I am always researching our families and adding new information to the books.

The public pages you have already noticed are the privatized version of our family history. That means, information like birth date and birth place for living people such as yourself is not displayed. The more complete information on our family history can be accessed through this page.

Email Catherine for passwords or to send additional family information.

Each of the family books available here has it's own unique password to protect confidential information from unauthorized viewing. The Reuther's cannot see the book on the Hager's and the Hager's cannot see the Reuther's. Unless, of course, like me, they are descended from both Reuther's and Hager's.

I want these books to be more than MY version of our family history. Please let me know any corrections, additions, and changes you have - births, deaths, marriages, divorces, etc. I can always write my version of each person's story or biography, but I would rather have your version of your story, as well as things you remember about people such as our grandparents, your parents, our aunts, uncles and cousins.

Don't forget to take a look at the public family pages. There you will find links to family sites by more distant cousins, as well as pictures.

The Books:

The books below are in pdf format. They are designed to print double-sided, so you will see blank pages throughout. These books include more than just names and dates. You will find trees, places, occupation, family stories, historical information, and the sources for all of my information - just so you know I did not make it up.

If you do not have the Adobe Reader required to view these books, you can download a free copy.
