The Ancestry of Larry and Annie (Everette) Kraus

In 1998 we embarked on a journey to find our ancestors. The impending turn of the century seemed an appropriate time to reflect on our history and those who came before us. We believe that what we are is largely determined by our ancestors. Scientists may argue over the role of genetics in the make up of personalities but there is no doubt that the beliefs, morals, and life experiences of one generation impact the development of the next. It is our belief that the more we know and understand our ancestors, the better we know ourselves.

So the journey begins. This page is the starting point, from here you can access all our research data. Each related family line we are actively researching may be accessed by clicking the surname in the table below. If you don't see the family you are interested in then try our entire research data base by clicking 'Database' in the menu above. It contains all of our data and includes many allied family lines. This is our research repository and we update this site often as our research progresses.

WAP Edition now Available. Do you have a web-enabled phone or PDA? Portions of our research database are now available on these devices by using the built-in microbrowser to go to larkcom.us/ancestry. I developed the WAP Edition so that I would have ready access to research data from cemeteries, libraries or any place where I may not have access to a computer. It has only been tested with the Motorola MPx200 phone running Microsoft SmartPhone 2002. If you have a different phone your feedback will help with continued development. Also, I am very interested in how others might use this new technology. If you find this feature useful please drop me an email.
