We welcome your continued interest, help and support as we strive to provide an excellent research tool through Greathouse Point, for all Greathouse kith and kin.

We encourage you to visit Greathouse Point often. But please don't just visit Greathouse Point and leave. We need your help. One way to help is through our Greathouse County project, http://greathouse.us/county.

By visiting libraries and courthouses in Greathouse counties and obtaining copies or extracts of records which our Greathouse or associated ancestors left behind, we can more accurately build our Greathouse family history. We are focusing on original documents which were created at or near the time of events which occurred in the lives of our ancestors, to build a firmer foundation for all our Greathouse or associated ancestors, particularly those of the 1700's or early 1800's. If you have copies of marriages, wills or other documents in your files, please share those also, by emailing a copy to: Research@Greathouse.us.
