Why we do genealogy
research:
There always comes a time in our lives when suddenly it becomes
important to know where we come from. All those who contributed
to our genetical map are in a certain sense still living inside
ourselves, wherever their physical existence took place. Many
personal questions can be answered with a bit of undigging in
your family's past, in the history, behaviours, customs that
your father and mother took along and left to you, and that you
maybe unconsciously are transmitting to your children, along
with color of hair and eyes.
There's a special thrill when you find something that seemed
lost forever, and maybe would, if you had not cared: genealogy
is the research of our roots, both genetical and cultural. From
the dusty, crumbling papers of documents people who belong to
what you now are come out of the mist of time and look at you
silently, affectionately, waiting for you to decipher their stories,
rescue them from oblivion and pass their as yet forgotten names
and stories on to the next generations.

This information is a compilation of many
relatives' dedicated research over decades, which continues today.
So much more historical and genealogical material is now accessible
on the Internet that there has been insufficient time to verify
all of it, and not all our sources are shown.
NOTE: To
exclude living people, estimated birthdates shown as (ca) or
(?) were assigned where lacking. Corrected, more complete dates/places/spouses/children
welcome.
My apologies for
unintentional errors and omissions. We hope to hear from lost
relatives and share our knowledge. My cousins
and I appreciate your feedback; please be patient with me in
answering. For MORE INFORMATION click the GEDCOMS link above,
which takes you to my data on Rootsweb.
