Welcome
My name is Martha and I will be your host for "all things on the Kenai Peninsula".
I do not live in Alaska, but upon discovering that a distant Cousin was born on the Peninsula,
I thought it a grand idea to learn more about the frozen north.
So, join me in an online adventure: Discovering Family & Historical Resources
for the Kenai Peninsula.
