If you are looking for a particular person, we suggest you start with our name search on the left. Enter part or all of the name. If you know the middle initial, enter it without the period to get everyone with middle names starting with that initial. You can also try our Advanced Search if you know other details about the person's life. Our surname listing is helpful if you are unsure of the spelling. If you find someone who might be of further interest, you can bookmark their family history page to easily find them on your next visit. Be sure to check all our features using the links and drop down menus above. On This Date gives you a listing of persons who were born, married or died on today's date in history. You might also enjoy our web site Statistics and What's New pages. In many ways, the web site is like "Granny's atic" — be prepared to spend time exploring it. Keep in mind, we are adding new information all the time, so if you don't find what you are looking for, bookmark us in your browser and keep checking back.

Reunion	Books

We want to point out and emphasize that while we are a Bisbee Family genealogy, we are interested in preserving the history of all Bisbees including the women whose lines are carried forward under their married names. If your great-grandmother was a Bisbee, we would like to have your family history whatever the surname. If you are a member of the Bisbee Family Connection©, or simply a member of the Bisbee (or related) family, you may register for a free account, after which you will be able to log in and access additional material not available to the public. At the discretion of the Administrator, you may be granted permission to add or edit your family data directly. Make sure you explain in your registration request exactly how you are related and if you will be contributing information or media to the website. Your family history can be submitted directly using our upload pages (available to registered users), by emailing it to the website administrator, by using the web site's Contact form, or even by snail mail, Pony Express or carrier pidgeon. Even if you do not register an account, you can propose additions or changes by clicking on the "Suggest" tab near the top of Family Group or Individual history pages.

We have recently upgraded the web site to give us additional capability. One of our enhancements is a built-in viewer allowing users to zoom in and out of images. This can be particularly useful with hard to read documents. We have also been working to locate and link to Bisbee Memorials on the Find A Grave web site. Find A Grave is supported by thousands of volunteers across the country who, like us, love to visit cemeteries and photograph gravestones. They post them at Find A Grave in a "memorial" created at the given cemetery for each one of the people known to be buried there. Often memorials will contain obituaries and other information about the deceased, and each cemetery has a list of volunteers who will collect and post gravestone photos upon request. Where we have been able to locate them, we have provided links to individual memorials in the Burial section of a person's family history page.

We are also collecting census data from original images on the Ancestry.com website and creating census "events" for everyone enumerated. Their location at each census is plotted on their map. If you go to the census footnote and click on the source reference number, you will see a snapshot of the family as it existed on the day it was enumerated.

We would very much like to have family and gravestone photos to post directly to our website.
