The Heycuz Story

It's hard to believe that Heycuz is in its 12th year. On December 12, 1998, a group of genealogists came together to exchange information on their family trees, histories, and research. Back then, we saw many inconsistencies in our lines and wanted to get on the same page. So we started an email newsgroup open to anyone who we could call cousin.

We quickly learned that we are all related.

Over the past ten years, we have uncovered new generations, found hundreds of cousins from all around the world, and developed lasting relationships, but we are always looking for more cousins.

How Do You Relate?

Are you part of this family? Did you find an ancestor in The Family Tree on this site? If so you might want to join us.There are two parts to heycuz. The first part is our email newsgroup that it hosted by Yahoo Groups.
We send emails to each other on a variety of topics. They include:
• New genealogical information
• New books, sources on our family
• Family memories
• Jokes
• Personal messages
This is a great way to get to know your cousins better and exchange information. There is no fee to join. To participate, subscribe through Yahoo Groups.

The second part of Heycuz is this website. As a member, you are able to view and edit information that you won't see as just a visiting guests.
