Welcome. This aggregate of historical documents is presented to you with a sense of gratitude: for our having had the opportunity to participate in this acknowledgement of those-of-ours who have gone-before - a thankfulness that we hope will find credence in each respective user of this database as the years unfold. Our fondest hope is that it is genesis of a wellspring of the personal illumination and satisfaction that has been our pleasure, so far, in the collection, abstracting, and compilation of these bits­and-pieces of the lives of our forebearers. God-bless each-and-every one of them for entering into our lives in such a poignant, meaningful manner however belated. 

Objectives. Hopefully, we have been able to assemble these abstracts in a manner that tends toward ease-of-access and -modification incident to the continuing story of the respective Warburton life­histories that will continue through the decades - centuries? - millennia? 

This hardcopy collection is a representation of a computerized, categorical alignment that fits our current concepts of the objectives noted. We solicit that those of Warburton heritage will see fit to utilize it as a beginning - or as an enhancement - to their own concept of personal historical collections of like nature.
 
Having spoken from a first person stance, we now look to you for assistance as we continue to broaden the horizons and qualitative value of our initial efforts. As will be noted, there are too many absences of significant documentation. May we solicit that YOU take upon yourselves the onus to pull-together existing documentation - or create (if necessary) synopses of your reflections - on your significant-family members. We would feel a broadened sense of gratitude should you be inclined to share them with us! - that we might add them to our collections. 

C' est la vie, ... Ernie & Neal Warburton
