Welcome to the Dirks Family History
and Genealogy
Introduction to the Dirks Website
Genealogy
will include data on the Dirks and their spouses. The data will only be
limited by our efforts to collect and record. The family will continue
to expand due to marriages, and so, the data base will continue to grow.
Any genealogy software will be useful to those collecting data. The site
will make available to anyone requesting data the latest copy of the
dirks.ged file. This is a standard genealogy file that can be input into
any genealogy software.
The genealogy jdirks.ged file is available from
jrdirks@att.net.
The Family
History will be the work of individuals who are willing to write
about themselves and their families. We encourage everyone to write a
little or a lot about themselves. Those of us who are fortunate to
discover some family history recorded by a previous generation are
encouraged to present it. As the data is received it will be given its
own webpage and indexed in the Family History.
The Dirks
Newsletter is compiled monthly and mailed around the 5th. The
newsletter is mailed to those who write each month and to those who are
unable to write due to health reasons.
The purpose of the newsletter is to provide material for those
doing genealogy research and to keep family and friends aware of current
events. Please send your inputs to “The Dirks Newsletter", 410 S.
Westview Derby, KS 67037. The newsletter will be posted on the website
http://jrdirks.com/. A printed copy of
the newsletter will be mailed to those who write and do not have
computers on-line.
Other Websites—Links will be
provided to other websites of families as
they become available. You may suggest websites that you may find
interesting and they will be considered as links. These sites will not
be controlled by this site and may come and go as they may be deleted
from the World Wide Web (WWW) by their owner. As an example I find the
WWII of Iwo Jima very interesting.
Photo Sites--Picasa
is a photo website that is used to present the family pictures and
videos. The website is free and I suggest each participant get their own
account and upload the pictures of their family that they feel
appropriate. There are many photo sites so take your pick.
