Bartrum Pedigree Chart

Hello again! After doing some research I found that sharing a pedigree chart on this blog is much more complicated than anticipated. The best option seems to be linking to a website generated by my family history software, so that is what I'll do.

This pedigree chart is far from complete. I have much more information on families and individuals, but I still have some work to do before I can share everything. That may be a slow process! This experience is teaching me (the hard way) how important organization is to family history work. I'll keep organizing and working on sharing what has been found. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy seeing who we come from.
Much love,
Jessie

(The first person on this chart is any child of Emory Zida Bartrum and Lucille Geraldine Hess Bartrum (a.k.a. Grandmother). Grandmother and her children's information will not show because they are still alive and I want to protect their privacy. You can find out more information on any other person by clicking on the icons by their name.)

Greetings Bartrum Family!
I am starting this blog to honor our Bartrum family- including those of us present, those who have passed on, and those who will born into our family in the future. Family history has been a passion of mine for almost 20 years. Most of my research during this time has been in our Bartrum/Hess family lines. As I have learned of our ancestors hardships and joys I have grown to love them- and want to share their stories with others. We come from strong people who suffered much and lived on the western edge of society. Their examples have brought me strength during hard times and I hope will to you as well.

I am a brand new blogger. I have no clue what I am doing, so please forgive the mistakes I will make. I just want to share what I have learned so that it can be of benefit to each of you and your families. If you have additional information to share or learned things a different way, please share in the comments or contact me. Family history is like a puzzle where there is always a missing piece or pieces that don't quite fit together. I hope that through our collaborative efforts we can learn a little more about those who came before us.

It is my hope to share a family tree with you very soon!

Much love,
Jessie
