My wife and I were married on April 2, 2005 in Metairie, Louisiana. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, forcing us to relocate. While most of our family is still in Louisiana, I have an uncle in West Plains, Missouri - our new home. The distance from our loved ones has been difficult, especially now that my wife is expecting our first child. Because of this, we wanted to have a way to keep up to date with our family, sharing both pictures (in the Gallery) and everyday information (Happenings).

In addition to sharing information with our immediate family, we thought this would be a good opportunity to find out more about our family line. If you have any information about the Salathe family line from Baden, Germany, please click on Contact Us. To get a look at what we have so far (the family tree), go to Geneology. In the future we will be putting up a Forum, where you will have to Register to chat with everyone.

Thanks for visiting,

Matthew & Rei
