Welcome To The Byrne Family Website

  This site is the family website for Hugh Byrne and Nanette Asimov of San Francisco, CA. It's primarily a home for genealogical data associated with our family lines, including surnames such as Trapnell, Asimov, Barteau, Rue, Byrne, Sheinaus, Valentine, Coles, Scheiner, and others. As this is an ongoing project, feedback and/or questions are strongly encouraged.

In addition to photos contained in the Family History portion of the site, there are also recent photos of family and friends in the Photo Gallery section.

Thanks for visting -- Hugh Byrne

  While scanning some family photos for the Family History section of the site, I came across some family photographs from the days following the 1906 Earthquake. They appear to have been taken by either my great grandfather or great grandmother, both of whom were in their early 20s. The photos show a group of young people out looking at the damage near Hollister, CA, and the mood appears rather festive. On view in the Photo Gallery
