This site is intended to be a place where descendants of Paul and Edith Dicks of Iowa can gather and exchange family-oriented information - upcoming events, memories of shared times, contact information, etc.
In keeping with the Dicks family tradition, pretty much anybody is included who chooses to be part of the family. So whether you're a cousin, aunt, nephew or just close friend to a family member, come on in and share with us.
I was inspired to create this site when I learned that I had lived only a short distance away from one of my cousins for two years, and neither of us knew it. I decided I would try to create something that will help us all, now scattered across the continent, stay in closer touch. So please give us your e-mail ID, phone number, address - whatever you are comfortable with sharing. It will help other family members find you (really, sometimes that's a GOOD thing).

I have added a new section to the site. Now you can share your favorite family recipes. Have you ever wondered how to make tomato gravy? Have you ever even heard of tomato gravy?? Well, here's your chance to try out this old-time recipe. Won't you share one (or several) of your favorites? |
| Post your contact information | Let other family members find YOU - post your name, email, phone... whatever you want to share |
| View contacts | See who we have on the contact list! |
| Post your favorite family tale | Do you have a great story to tell about a family trip, or you just want to share a memory from down on the farm? Keep the family history alive by posting your stories here. |
| Read submitted family tales | See what stories have been submitted. |
| Share your favorite family recipes | Part of a family's culture is the unique foods they enjoy. Share your heritage and submit one of those recipes handed down from long ago, or simply one of your favorites. |
| View recipes | Can't decide what to fix for dinner? Try one of these. |
| View family photographs | See photographs of members of the Dicks family, all the way back to Edith's grandmother and grandfather. |
This site will grow as I have time to build new sections, and as you provide
feedback and ideas. Here are some of the sections currently planned:
| Find a family member | Look here to find an individual, or to see who's living in your area these days. |
| Upcoming Events | Planning a group camp-out or a big get-together? If your attitude is the-more-the-merrier, let us know about it! |
| Mailing list | Are you moving, or changing your e-mail ID, and you want to let the whole family know with only one click? Send a note to the family mailing list. |
