This First Families section is for ancestors that lived in Garfield County. If you have ancestors that you would like to have posted, all you have to do is send me the information. You can send it to me in a .rtf, .txt, .doc, .html format. (Usually Family Tree Maker and other similar programs use .rtf files)
If you have a genealogy web site of your County Ancestors, let me know and I will add a link on "Personal Genealogy Sites" so that others may visit. You MUST let me know that you are sending a file prior to sending it. I do not open attachments from unknown sources.
Use these family pages as a springboard for your research. I have made no attempts to verify the accuracy of the information submitted. If you find what you believe to be errors, please contact the submitter.
Please do NOT submit any information on living people, I do not post that information. It is too dangerous to post names of living people, even if the information listed says "Private". I use 1920 as the cut-off year for births.

-
In the days before the internet clubs were a source of
community information, social gathering, benevolent service,
music and athletic competition. This photo taken in the
Garrison Brother’s Rifle studio show’s the Rifle Bachelor’s
Club’s basketball team of 1917. Once clubs dominated the
heart of small town life. Sadly, the few remaining today
struggle to hang onto a dwindling and aging membership.
