The primary SCOPE of this web page is to present what I know of my direct ancestors and their siblings. However, where there are rich histories or interesting stories to tell, I am also exploring the lives of cousins and other relations.
For privacy purposes I have not fully covered the most recent (still living) generations.
As far as PERSPECTIVE, the "I's" "My's and "Me's" you find here generally refer to myself, John Nicholson and I am describing people in terms of their relationship to me (e.g "Ancestors of My Grandparents"). Exceptions would be the stories, recollections, etc which are obviously credited to someone else (e.g. the short biography about Myron Bradley written by his daughter, Connie).
