Our
Steffens Family Pages website contains a genealogical history of the Steffens
/ Hooyman / Jenkins-Rankins / Turpeinen-Nayho family trees dating back
over 400 years with hundreds of heirloom pictures and
biographies of our parents and many of ancestors. Some of the
biographies I've written up date back over 200 years.
The
website was also
effectively an electronic scrap book of our lives displaying thousands of captioned pictures of our
friends, our adventures together, projects, and my/our annual Christmas letters
for the last 30+ years. Until 2016, I added to website
annually mainly for my mother and brothers to keep up with our family
adventures. Since 2010, Facebook has been a medium for our immediate
postings of pictures, so our Facebook account albums have much of the
same pictures in a larger format.
I hope to redesign the
website with a 1200 pixel wide format now that I am retired. The
website design was last changed in 2003 back when most PC monitors
were smaller and 600x800 pixels was a standard screen resolution.
In the redesign I also hope to make it so our cousins can contribute
to the Family Tree (genealogical) section with their pictures and
family information. Time will tell how motivated I am to make
all that a reality.

The "Year in Pictures" section
became a way to
share our years activities in pictures with everyone and it contains pictures
all the way back to 1997 BK (before kids). In the "Vacations" section we've
posted the best photos of our vacations (many with friends)
dating back to 1989. We always have a house project going on, the more elaborate
ones are displayed in the "House Projects"
section. The "Fridge Gallery" had posts of our friends
and families pictures sent to us with their annual Christmas cards
many which often ended up on our refrigerator,
but it hasn't been updated for many years now.
I stop
maintaining the "Year in Pictures", "Vacations", "House Projects" and
"Christmas Letters" sections in 2016 after the death of my mother, God
bless her sweet soul. I will kick all that back in when I get
the website redesigned. In the meantime all our "family" related
pictures and adventures are regularly posted on Facebook.
I still keep the "Family Tree" section
updated with the latest family historical info I can find, so
please check that out if you are at all interested in stuff like that.
If you would like to contact us for any reason, e-mail me and I
promise to get back to you! We love to hear from our family,
friends and distant cousins, so please stay in touch and let us know
how things are going on your end of the Internet!
