Hi, I’m Tom Mendonca, and this is my family research site. Consider yourself having walked into a virtual library. I have spent the past decades gathering genealogy and historical records, most of which is available for you to pull from a shelf and view right here in this digital place. You will primarily find information on my family’s direct Mendonca, Baker, Howard, and Thude genealogical lines. This will continue to expand as I further reach back into the strands of family history. I hope that this helps you uncover a bit of your heritage and shows you how unique and diverse our backgrounds truly are. This site will take you to the beginnings of the United States, to the 1800’s Hawaiian Inlands territory, and to the shores of Europe. You can also look through my family’s other various interests, from my wife Denise’s homemade crafting and custom quilting, snapshots of our life here in Oregon, and the other blessings that God daily gives us.
