WELCOME to Yonder Places
A Genealogy website
Please note: As of Oct 23, 2009, we obtained the super genealogy program "Family Tree Maker 2010" and are updating all our research and families. We currently have over 10,000 names in many family trees (although only about 1,500 people are on this site so far). So our research is coming to a grinding halt as we input all data into the new program and get the info onto this site. Please keep checking back often. Plus, because of this website we have linked several cousins who didn't know either existed.
You can read all about how this project began in the ABOUT US link, and even more in the ARTICLES section (How it all started), but because this is our homepage, it's fair to say that this project began when two cousins asked the same question about two missing brothers in their family tree. That, coupled with even more questions about missing links in one of our researcher's family, brought about the inevitable piles of research; census records, forms, email, birth, marriage, and divorce records, you name it.
And for just a few families we're working on, they are: Clauson, Clawson, Flygstad, Tyree, Sheppard, Myers, Butterfield, Sanderson, Mahaney, Johnson, Sargent, Beaveau, Beavo, Bevo, McLeod, Coe, Nutt, Rushman, Gahlau, Smith, Shaw, Schlaf, Wasmund, Warmuth, Bestuba, Bastuba, Miller, Dotson, Meunier, Gerhardt, Gerhart, Salvage, Arnold, Haley, Casey, Monaghan, Earle, Loomis, Bowers, Borin, Cox, Hoggan, Oday, Rapp, Sinclair, Stewart, Burkhead, Allen, Caswell, Steel, Wells, Meeks, Hower, Boggs, Hower, Layton, Waller, Maxson, Carder, Carpenter, Losh, Fulcher, Kellogg, Weinand, Petz, Render, and the list just keeps going. Please visit our SurnameS and Charts & Trees sections for more.
By the way you might be wondering why a space shot of the Earth was chosen to be put on our main pages. It's simple. This is a genealogy website and isn't confined to American's only. After all, Americans come from all points on this beautiful planet earth . . . and who knows, maybe even from regions beyond?????
The Earthlights graphic at the top of this page is a "satellite" night shot of the Earth. And you can see the lights of populated areas.
The single image was obtained at: "Visible Earth: A Catalog of NASA images and animations of our home planet." NASA maintains ownership of all images. More images may be found at the Visible Earth website.
We hope you enjoy your visit.
