There is much that can be added to this site including wills, deeds, tax and war records, etc. If anyone wants to be a Pirkle family
genealogist, the information is available, usually on microfilm at the Church of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah (they are going all over
the world microfilming everything). You can order this film from your local LDS church, for no cost, and they will send the film to your local LDS
church, where you can make paper copies of records and mail them to me for inclusion in this site. It can be a fun hobby if you like playing
detective. Call me at (253) 839-4304 if you want to know how to get started. Genealogists believe that they are bringing their departed relatives back
to life.
Also, this site is designed to be easily linked to other sites of the Pirkle family. Send me the URL
and tell me where your site fits into the lineage and I will link it to this site.
