Welcome
My name is Martha and I am your host for Lake and Peninsula Borough
I do not live in Alaska, I am on the Central Coast of California so cannot do 'on the ground research',
but that said, I am an excellent online researcher and might be able to help
you locate that missing piece of your 'Ancestral Pie'

Our thanks to the Whalen Family for hosting the AKGenWeb
