My name is Cathy Heather Larlee (Papanus) (Feuerhelm) and I am the daughter of the two parents at the end of this story… I’m not sure if my siblings would agree or not, but I consider myself the family storyteller – the one obsessed with genealogy anyway. I have a separate site that is dedicated just to the Larlee Genealogy, and another very personal site that has a version of the family tree here. I want this site to be a place where my entire family (siblings, my children, nieces and nephews, and on down) can participate and contribute.

My goal here is to create a space for family stories, memories, and images that can be preserved and shared with future generations. I know there is much that I have lost (like photos and personal documents) or forgotten (told to me or my own memories), and I regret that I didn’t do more to preserve them. So I invite my family to participate and grow our tree and tell our family’s story.
