AAFA Site Updates -- 2007

Click here to see links to 2006 and prior year updates.

As new information or new pages are added, they will be listed below. Please take a few minutes to see how we've grown! Some of the files, particularly census files, are large PDF files and will take some time to load, especially with dial-up. Give them time as they are worth it.

The links provided below will take you to the top of a page. Sometimes you will need to scroll down to find what you want.

We are adding something to the member Ahnentafels that we post. For a while there will be some emphasis on members with whom we have lost contact. Mail sent to them is returned. When we post their Ahnentafel on the Updates page we will show a note (need add.) If you know their whereabouts or know that they are deceased, please let us know.
