Freeman researchers who have been around longer than 6 months will recognize the name of Steve Lawson and his Freeman Family Lines web site. When I first got onto the Internet the List Owner for the surname FREEMAN was Steve Lawson and his site was the first Freeman Site that I paid a visit to. I still make weekly visits to Steve's site to see what new Freeman information he is so willing to share with everyone else. It is because of Steve's site that I put a Freeman site online. It was because of his involvement with the mailing list that I tried to become as active as possible and assist other researchers of the surname FREEMAN.

For all the time, effort, support and more than a lending hand he has held out to anyone who asks for it, I am honored to present the 1st The Freeman Repository - LINK OF THE MONTH award to Steve Lawson. Thank You and take a well deserved bow!

The below information is right from Steve's site:

Freeman Family Lines is maintained as a means of sharing over four decades of family history information on all of my ancestral lines. The search began in the usual manner, by questioning my parents and grandparents about their origins. On my paternal lines, information beyond my grandparents would not be shared. But I was able to obtain basic data on my maternal great grandparents. My earliest family history notes are from 1954. From those very sparse beginnings, bits and pieces were slowly added.
