Our Genealogy HelperIntroduction ...We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:
By learning about Gordon Head (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes. We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world. As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this our Genealogical Helper for Gordon Head. While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.
