About me:
My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships.
The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

Dewey D'Albert
Log cabin built by Grandfather Dewey D'Albert, Santa Cruz Mountains off of Mt. Herman Rd., Scotts Valley. Built about 1952, still exists but is now used by a church on the property as a youth meeting place. An original 'tiny home' the cabin was about 400 sq. feet, had a small bathroom (toilet and sink, only) a very small kitchen with a counter that pulled up for a dining area, and two twin beds. We sister and I stayed there a lot, we loved the place!
Karen Stokke
Karen and I saved our money and rented a 'horse' costume so we could be in the Seafair Parade in the U district, Seattle, Wa. After the parade, we walked down through the shops, entering Christiansen's Shoe Store. The owner was a childhood friend of my mothers. We walked through the store and when Don Christiansen, the owner, approached us, we cleverly asked for some 'horse shoes'....he played along and said, "sure, they are right over here-what color would you like?". Karen was the front, I got the 'behind'!
