ABOUT THIS SITE
ORIGIN: Available on the web since December 2001, this website was most recently modified on March 22, 2020, and will continue to be improved as forty-five years of research progresses. Click here for a list of recent updates. The Acree Surname DNA Project, initiated in August 2006, achieved its most recent accomplishment on May 11, 2025. Click here to see the project's history.
CONTENT: The site focuses exclusively on my ancestors (direct lines) and those of my wife, beginning with our grandparents. Siblings of our ancestors are excluded unless they, too, became ancestors through inter-marriage of cousins. Former and subsequent spouses of our ancestors who did not become ancestors themselves through their own children are listed separately on the Other Spouses webpage.
MECHANICS: These webpages have been written in HTML using Windows software. Graphics are fashioned with Paint-Shop-Pro. The original webpages were generated by Gedpage, but have been written individually since then, with extensive cross-referencing. They are uploaded to the server by FileZilla. Visitor statistics are kept by Extreme-Tracking.
CONTACT: Queries and comments via e-mail are welcome. Your help in finding elusive ancestors introduced on the Unknowns page would be greatly appreciated. When you write, please type the address below, without spaces, in your "to" line and include the word "Genealogy" in your subject line to assist the mail filter.
Thank you for visiting our website. Charles Acree
