Welcome to pipesfamily.com, my web page for the Pipes family in the United States.

This site is dedicated to the history of our Pipes forebears and their military service. Our goals are to identify all persons named Pipes who were born before 1900 and connect them to the proper branch of the family and to document as many military careers as possible. We also enjoy documenting our connections to the history of this great country. You will find Pipes ancestors involved in almost every major historical event in this country.

I offer my apologies for the "oldness" of this web page. I started it many years ago, built it myself and have upgraded the start page several times. It needs it again and the added complexity of having it fit on multiple platforms and screen sizes is challenging. Old dogs need to learn new tricks. I am working now on fixing broken links, converting old MS Word files and html files to PDFs. Meanwhile all the data is still there even if it is a little clunky. Be patient Please!

I hate to say this but I am retired now and could really use some help with the costs of all this. Annual Subscriptions, Domain Name Registrations etc. It adds up.

Thank You
