Welcome to The Lamb Family Online.
The following websites are dedicated to telling the story of Joseph and John Lamb,

In the summer of 1979 I became interested in the two suitcases of old photographs that had always sat in the basement of our home.  One day I opened the cases and began to look at the photos.  More than 20 years later, I am still doing the same thing.  In the intervening years I have been able to piece together the information that you find here.  Now, thanks to modern technology, I can share these photos and information with everyone.  I hope that you enjoy viewing this information as much as I have enjoyed assembling it!
