Genealogy

---

For a couple of years I included our Lynch-Dixson family genealogy on this website, but in January 2001 I took it down for privacy reasons. It currently includes 926 individual records. My parents, John and Eleanor Lynch compiled a large part of the information between about 1985 and 1990. They have added much additional information since then, and also spent a couple of years scanning family pictures for the project.

We generated the webfiles using the Reunion genealogy program for Macintosh (the Windows version is called Generations). We have succeeded in burning the webfiles and pictures that were formerly on the website on a CD-ROM. The individual records, family cards, and some 250-300 pictures are viewable with any Web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.

If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the CD-ROM, contact me (Larry Lynch) at lorenxo@canyonfire.org.

The benefits of having the genealogical files on the Internet was not only that it was accessible from anywhere in the world but that all the names had been indexed by the various search engines like Yahoo, Excite, Google, or Alta Vista. We have gotten numerous emails from distant relatives and others interested in our family history.

So it was with regret that we took the site down. But we had to recognize that we were in effect publishing a vast amount of information about many people and their ancestors who had not given us specific permission to do so.

The upshot is that we would still like to make this information available to those that would enjoy having it. We have provided the index of the people in the genealogy on this website (see link below), but without any further information.
