  MY FAMILY PHOTOS 

Born in Maryland in 1959 to Avenelle Kidd & Ronald Olson. The eldest of 4 daughters. Have lived in Woodbridge, VA, Plymouth, OH, Milwaukee, WI and finally, Franklin, WI.   Married Dan Ammon. We have two sons.  Come spring of 2004, Jordan will graduate from High School and Chris will graduate from 6th grade. Both of the boys have Type I Juvenile Diabetes, which makes life very interesting!  (see the bottom of this page for more info!)

Back in 1997, I became very interested in researching my Mom's family.  Using a handwritten family tree, created by Ballard Hall in 1975, I began recording our family.  Even though that tree contained about 500 names (no dates), I was thankful that I didn't have to start from scratch. Well, my tree has over 57,000 names now and is still growing!  If you would like details of any of the families listed here, please contact me with your request. 

When I began this journey, I have to admit, I did not document a lot of my sources as I went along. Now (sigh) I know better and am trying to record those sources as I find them or remember them. And in some cases, the information I obtain from my sources is conflicting. I try to take the most logical approach before making a connection. PLEASE, do not consider my information "gospel" unless I provide you a source. Feel free to question me on anything!  

I'd love to hear from cousins, distant kin and anyone interested in genealogy.
