Rebuilding Our Family Databases

About ten years ago, Frank Neher volunteered to collect Greathouse family data from anyone who believed they were a descendant of a Greathouse ancestor. Pat Greathouse volunteered to head the mailing list where ideas and theories were shared. In March 1998 along with Rick Greathouse, they founded Greathouse Point, as a website where their Greathouse family research would be shared with others. At that time, it was difficult to easily find original sources, so the family databases were compiled based on donated family histories. Some were accurate; some were not.

We regret that Frank and Pat didn't live long enough to see some of the excellent resources now available to document and prove or disprove our information.

Because our original databases were built on sources that are considered to be weak by today's genealogical standards, we have removed those databases from Greathouse Point.

All family line databases are being rebuilt, using sound and proven genealogical standards, along with better primary and secondary source documents.

When we feel confident that we have documented as much as possible, the lines will be reposted here at Greathouse Point.

We need your help and your source documents to make this effort a success. If you can contribute documentation or you would like to join the team of researchers who have undertaken this task, please contact us at Research@Greathouse.us .

We are guiding Greathouse Point into being a source of documentation, not speculation. We want anyone who encounters this site to feel confident that they have the best possible information to validate their Greathouse family lineage.
