One of the primary objectives of the Slusher Family Organization is to develop and archive accurate genealogical information on those related to Christopher (Schlosser) Slusher, Sr., the ancestor from whom many of those in our organization descended. Much time and energy has been spent in developing and maintaining the Slusher Family Database which contains nearly 10,000 individual names as of July 2010. Of particular note, those finding the information useful should thank Robbie Robertson who initially created the database and placed over 9,000 people into this research tool.

Members are encouraged to review the data for accuracy and provide update information to the database administrator as it is obtained.

The database is managed using "Personal Ancestral File (PAF)" software, version 5.2, although you can access the data in the file (on a read-only basis) using any internet browser provided you have a user name and password provided by the database administrator (currently Jeff Slusher). The web version is displayed using GenoPro software.

Read-only access to the web version is available to Slusher Family Organization members.

After reviewing the data you find errors or wish to make additions, please send that information directly to Jeff Slusher in an email (for relatively simple updates/corrections) or send him a datafile that he can upload directly to the database.

Several steps are required from the time family members send me updates until the time when the data is actually displayed on the internet. Although I try to get the on-line data updated monthly, that rarely happens because of the time and effort required to create the web version.

A few words about the security of this data: This information is only available to those with up to date usernames and passwords. Secondly, the directory (unlike other pages on this database) is hidden from view. Thirdly, any database information displayed on your screen is encrypted between your computer and the database itself.
