NOTICE: American Online (AOL) has, without notice, shutdown their genealogy websites (Kathy Linderholm's website with the Adams and related families is now shutdown). All links to her website are not working--I am working on changing the links and am in the process of replacing that information on this website. Our goal is to get the pictures, documents and history placed on this website. Thank you for your patience. Her AOL pages can be found at this archive. If you have any of the photos or documents from Kathy's site that are not "live" links please contact Jim Adams.
New Feature -- "Lost Photographs". Click on the link and look at the photos. If you can identify any of the photographs please contact Jim Adams (adamsmckain at gmail.com).
