William Cecil Herndon

This genealogy database was started in 1995 as part of my search for Robert Paul Herndon—my paternal grandfather who disappeared in 1937. In 2002, I found his gravesite in Blytheville, Arkansas, ending that part of the work but continued my research completing significant portions of the Herndon, Masten, Stiles, Tutein, Fairbanks, Lindell, Johnson, Bonnell, and Jarvis family trees.

This is all a round-about way of saying that I have spent thousands of hours and thousands of dollars building a database that is unlike 9 in every 10 genealogy compilations you will find on the Internet. There is no fact in my database that does not have supporting evidence, no person nor family that does not have citations.

So I ask that you please respect the work I've put in by abiding by the restrictions of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. In fact... I insist!
