This website is the family story of Richard C. Barbieri and Johanna M. Tyrrell. 

Genealogy is the study of how one generation is connected to the next.  It also has the objective of preserving the past for the future.  This site will not only connect generations for each of our families but will also show how those otherwise separate families come together. 

“Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.”- Mark Twain

“A life that is not documented within a generation or two will be lost to memory.  What a tragedy this can be in the history of a family. Knowledge of our ancestors shapes us and instills within us values that give direction and meaning to our lives.” -Dennis B. Neuenschwander

It is our fondest hope that this website will allow us to better connect with relatives we know and perhaps some we don’t.
