Introduction / Purpose

My ancestors were real people!

This blog is a place to preserve and share information about the Joseph and Mary Jane (Ingham) Dean family -- documents, pictures, stories, and more.  Because all  families are inter-connected, there will also be information about the Deans' ancestors and descendants.

Many of the basic facts about family members (birth, marriage, and death dates and places, etc.) are available on FamilySearch.org's Family Tree.  Please visit that site for those kinds of details.  Joseph Dean's PID # is KWJ7-456 and Mary Jane Ingham's PID # is KWJC-HPV.  For ease of reference, I will refer to married women by their maiden names, even though several documents will list their married names.

Back in 2011 I tried setting up a website for this purpose, but found it too cumbersome.  I need a format where it will be easy to share, because I have SO MUCH to share about this family.  Hopefully the labels will make navigation easy enough for readers.

If you are related to the Deans, I'd love to hear from you.  I was named after my two grandfathers -- Ray and Dean, so for a long time I've been drawn to those who came before me.  (Just for fun, one of my sisters was named after our grandmothers -- Mary + Edith = Meredith!)

Please keeping checking back because I will continue to add updates.  Thanks!
