Welcome:

Welcome to Backus Family History! I am your webmaster/host Dave Backus. The site contains the results of our ongoing research of the Backus and Lattin Families and branches. Please feel free to contact us in regard to the people you find in our databases. The data contained herein has been compiled over many years on a best effort basis. While we believe the family links that we have made to be correct, you should always do your own independant validation to verify your own ancestry.

The good news is: the great majority of information has sources attached to them. Unfortunately, we probably do have some errors. Sometimes the errors are mine - because I transcribed the information incorrectly; and sometimes the sources I used may have had incorrect or unreliable information. In any case, those errors will remain unless YOU contact us and give/suggest corrections.

The fact that you are visiting this site more than likely indicates that you are related to someone in one of our database. Please, DO send us pictures and family stories. We will be glad to post them. After you signup for a membership, if you do not receive a confirmation email in 24-36 hours, please check your SPAM mailbox, as I have found that most the time the email ends up there.



If you would like to help keep this site going, and/or appreciate the
amount of work involved, you are welcomed to make a donation:
This is strictly voluntary but, will be greatly appreciated!
