Welcome

The site may be used to store actual documents, communicate with the extended family, record information about Fred's descendants, or for whatever purpose you see fit. 

 It can also be used by Fred's descendants to keep track of one-another.

Documents

if your information is appropriate for a public encyclopedia, then it may be better to add it to Wikipedia's page on Fred Harvey Company History or the section on Noteworthy Fred Harvey Hotels & Restuarants. However, if you are confused by Wikipedia, or the information doesn't belong there, we encourage you to store it on this site:

• Company History
• Hotels & Restaurants: History & Current Renovations
  
  
• Family History
• Family Tree: A hierarchical view of Fred Harvey's Descendants.
