      Wow, lots of info. Anne Marie Harpen in my cousin Jeanne Harpen's daughter and the grand-daughter of Dorothy Gay Beaber. By the way, FYI, Anne's dad Walter Harpen, died last week. She and I correspond frequently. By the way Aunt Dorothy is my mom's sister; my aunt and not great aunt. thanks for all your hard work.

      The software is so set up that you cannot get into it to change things around without a code. I don't give that out for the reasons you stated, the tree gets screwed up. Believe me I know. I have spent a couple of days doing and undoing your tree because I did not connect the birthdays list with the children's list and had two separate trees going for the Paukens. Also only names show, no dates, no places, no notes or history for those who are living to protect their privacy. I think it is a bit overbearing, but you never know whether someone who finds themselves on the tree objects to what is displayed. My daughters for a while even wanted their married names suppressed until they discovered what I, a rank computer beginner, discovered: with Google most everybody can be found and Facebook is even worse. So now their married names and the last names of their kids are on the tree. Both publish scholarly papers so their bios are everywhere.

      In short send you stuff, old pictures as attachments and I will get them up. One of my daughters likes crocheting. I like putting names in the tree. Monotonous stereotyped behaviors must be soothing to the soul.

      As to descent from Charlemagne, here's a dirty little secret. Everyone is descended from Charlemagne: we can just prove it. Why do I say that? Look at how a family tree grows with each generation. You have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, 16 g-g-grandparents, etc. Each generation doubles the number of your ancestors. Now we are 52 generations from Charlemagne. He was our 52 x great grandfather. Now how many such grandparents do you think we have? Meanwhile look at the world population over the years. There are far more people on earth now than in Charlemagne's time. There would not be enough people on earth for all of us having descended from a different set of ancestors in Charlemagne's time.

      Do you know Anne Harpen? She is a descended from your great aunt Dorothy Gay Beaber and has promised to help. Her's is the next set of letters I am going to look at for data. Like you she has been lost in the avalanche since April 2009.

      There is a picture of White Feather, our Pottawatomie Indian ancestress, on the upper right hand corner of the home page of Tombeau.net. She is not a princess, but the illegitimate daughter of married Frenchman of a prominent Detroit Family named Charles Gouin and an Indian woman named Little Snipe. For the children she can be a princess.

      He, by the way, has a street named after him where the family farm used to be on the east side of downtown Detroit. Unfortunatrely they did not even spell it right. Instead of Gouin, it is spelled Guoin. Insead of being pronounced GWINN, it is prononced GOO-OIN. Insult to injury I say.

      The guy who invented the software is the creative one. My site has received rave reviews from all over the world. But I am just the hack who puts things in it that I have been collecting for over 50 years.

      Look fprward to more and more Paukens.

      Dear Patrick: Thanks for the email. I will work on getting more details for the family tree. I have a question about updating that information. Do I send it to you for you to add to the collection or is it something you want me to do? I'd rather send it to you so I don't screw something up. this whole project of yours is totally a work of art, fantastic! When I tell people that I am actually related to Charlemagne, they laugh. My grand-daughter thinks it's a hoot that an Indian princess is in our ancestory.
      Thanks again for being so creative.

      Connie

      Hello Connie,

      Thank you very much for your contributions to the LaVoy family Tree. As there are practically no limits to how much the computer can handle feel free to continue to grow the tree in regard to the Pauken and Beaber families. I take it you are the former Constance Pauken, the last child of Mary Catherine Gay and Paul S. Pauken. I have added to family notes that you have traced the tree presented to me.

      I assume most of the births and marriages in the family so far given to me were in Toledo. But it is not good to work on assumptions. If you feel up to, I like to collect place names for births, marriages, and deaths as a way of charting the 400 year migration of our family from Rouen, France, through Canada and finally throughout the US. We are everywhere.

      I will send you shortly the family pages of the Pauken and Beaber family for you to check out for mistakes.

      I also gave a man a couple of days ago your email address as he iwas working on a Gay Family genealogy and is a descendant of your grandfather Dennis Gay's brother Robert (I think). One of the nice things about these descending trees is that I have had the opportunity of uniting distant relatives in same part of the tree.

      Sorry this has taken so long to get to you. I lost my data processers and had to learn myself while an avalanche of emails came in.

      Best wishes.

      Patrick LaVoy Tombeau

      Paul S. Pauken
