What's New on our Website

Added Material

June 2007 Highlights:

I am slowly catching up with all my email and backlog of requests. If you have written to me and still not received a reply, let me know! It was just lost in the shuffle. The move from Las Angeles to Dallas went well, but with the new job it has taken awhile to catch up with everything and unfortunately the website has had to take second priority for a while. Thanks to all your emails and information I plan to return to adding updates on a regular basis now.

Duck Branches: More new Duck Family Branches have been added; please take a look and let us know if you have any information! Several groups from various branches have contacted me with lots of new information and photographs which we will add as they appear. Thanks to Martha Johnson, Norma Faller, Barbara Westbrook, Sue Olinger, Wanda Meeker, Sarah Blackmon Hughes, Judy Chapman, Linda Duck, Dan Tokar, Gail Mounger, Bartina Peoples, Sherman Duck and Van Arthur Owens for writing and sharing information!
