PLEASE NOTE: Much of the information available on this site can be attributed to the generosity, persistence and endless enthusiasm of one of THE most positive and passionate genealogists I've ever had the good fortune to meet. CC Cinnamond was one of those rare individuals you could not NOT love. The insurrmountable brick wall wasn't a part of his mindset or vocabulary, and his "little engine that could" attitude was contagious and energizing. I hate it that we've lost him, yet am no less grateful for that stroke of fate that brought us together. There's little doubt that while he was here, CC Cinnamond made his mark --not just on genealogy but on human kind as well. I feel blessed for having known him. Thank you, dear friend, and rest well. I really, really miss you... Your pal --Mary
