This is my first attempt at putting together a website about my family history through www.Rootsweb.com .
I am researching the following family.
Ponczko (Panczko, Paczko, Ponczek) - from Budylow, Poland (current day Ukraine).
Gabriz - from Brezova pod Bradlom, Czechoslovakia
Hartung - from Langeweisen, Thuringia, Germany
Kedzior (Kendzior) - from Swiecany, Poland
Szynal - from Swiecany, Poland
Plus many many more...................
Please bear with me as I attempt to build this website with the many ancestors that I have been able to trace.
Please contact me with any questions, comments or contributions at lschum1028@yahoo.com.
