How can you contribute?

 

   There are numerous ways you can help our tree grow. As with a real tree the more roots and branches our family tree has the better it can grow. We appreciate any help you can offer. Is there any errors you have found? Are you in the tree, but there is not much info there? Are you one of our missing relatives?  Whatever the case is, we would love to hear from you.

 

What are we looking for?

 

   Every little bit of information helps. Even if you do not know it all, perhaps others can add to it and help develop the whole picture. I have been able to add quite a bit to a lot of the information I have received. Below is just some of the info we are looking for. I’ve somewhat reverted to one of the first things I was taught at the police academy. Find out the five W’s; Who, What, Where, When, How

 

·       Names: First, middle, last, nicknames, suffixes, prefixes, aliases, etc.

·       Marriages: Who they married and when? Did they divorce? Have they been married more than once?

·       Children: Do they have kids? How many?

·       Dates: When did they do it?

·       Locations: Where did they do it?

·       Stories: Help us bring our family members alive and keep the memories flowing. Is there some one you have a special anecdote about. Please share it with the rest of us. I have started to try and add little stories and tidbits about those family members that I know/knew. I’d like to get your take on things.

·        Anything else you would like to add, correct or comment on

 

There is no real set pattern that I follow, if you think it needs to be in there, then let’s put it there.

 

How do I get you the information?

 

There are 4 ways you can get us the info:

 

·       email me: bit by bit or send me a GEDCOM (I do not merge whole GEDCOM files, I enter each individual separately.

 

·       sign our guestbook: let others know your there and what info you have

 

·       You could call me, just keep in mind that I can’t carry on long conversation and most people have a hard time understanding me, especially when I’m having one of those days. Email for the phone number.

 

·       snail mail it me:

 

                                  Donnie Krippendorf

                                  4516 EastEnd Road

                                  Knoxville, TN 37920

 

And last but not least, if you have any questions or I can help you fill in some missing pieces, just let me know, I’ll be happy to help.

 

Thank you,

 

                                           Donnie & Audrey Krippendorf
