Many people have asked me why I started down this seemingly endless road of attempting to document the Aspeling family and their connection to other families; I don't really know. There are times that I wish that I had never thought about it! In the beginning it seemed a pleasant diversion from day to day activities but it turned into an addictive obsession which I am sure will be with me for years to come.

It all started some years ago when some early research notes from the Rev. Jack Aspeling came into my possession. This was the seed of the family tree which has now grown from a sapling to a tree with many branches and side shoots.

I currently have over six thousand names in my database files. My ultimate goal is to use Aspeling.com as a home that will, along with the genealogical charts, have biographical sketches of some of the individuals. However, I have come to the conclusion that in order to achieve my ultimate goal, it will have to be done in a step by step fashion.

This website is the first step in the long process and focused only on the Aspeling and Black families which, after all, are my primary interest. Other families will be included in the future.

Hopefully, this first step will stimulate interests and encourage members of the Aspeling family to contribute additional data.

As stated before, only a small portion of the data is presented here. The other families will be addressed through future links and websites. It is hoped that this website will encourage others to send in data on their families, so they may be presented in a similar fashion.
