Lewis Bailey Steppe Jr. Web Site
Welcome to my web site. Many of you know me as
Lewis Steppe, Jr. Others know me as Bailey Steppe, that is what my mother called
me. A student saw me and drew this sketch of me.
The site came online in September 2001 as a place to show my family book. That is the only part that is finished. The
rest of the web site is under construction this Winter 2008. I have 756 pages
and 2175 pictures as of Jan 10, 2008.

FAMILY BOOK This is the
main family history book. It contains the ancestors and relatives of my parents,

And I have had research done by a professional researcher, which is also
included.

in the main book.

AGONY COLUMN
This must be the ultimate mode of self expression, to publish your personal
agonies on the web. (I have learned, Feb 05, 2005, that
such a site, or the content thereof, is newly called a 'blog' and that one
blogger believes blog bleats have influenced public policy. I find this last unbelievable.)
Here are links to related web pages.
