At this site you will find :
1.
Examples of some of the information contained in his books
from
Gary's 30+ years of research of the Lull History.
2. Links to various family tree oriented sights.
3. Contacts for more information and to make inquiries re: his books.
4. Gary's Cemetary research pages
5.
His memorial section
Gary's lifelong dream would be to have Spain recognize him for his work, by giving him an honorary Knighthood title. A rumor that he was rewarded the title: Count of Toulouse has surfaced, and we will update these pages when we find out if it has been legitimized. Pray for us and cross your fingers!

SPECIAL NOTE FROM WEBMASTER/SON -Robin:
As I grieve the loss
of my father, I (Robin) hope that these
pages can be referred
to by family, friends, and others
in order to aid them
on their quest when seeking their roots.
Dad's life-long passion
for genealogy has yielded much success,
and I want to express
my gratitude to everyone who
has shown interest in
our efforts here and in his efforts over the years...
We
did what we could in the little time we had.
Harry
Chapin's song, "Cat's In The Cradle" was
truly
the story of our lives, we never had enough time.
So
with a huge aching hole in my heart, I quote and link it here,
as
it was a seriously strong theme in our lives.
"When
I'm coming home Dad, I don't know when,
but
we'll get together then, Dad
you
know we'll have a good time then..."
See
you on the other side Pop.
XOXOXOXOXO
