These web pages comprise part of our Family History -- the ancestry of my sister Pat (Swan) Thiessen and mine, and, of course, that of our children and grandchildren. I'm interested in exchanging information with others who are researching the same lineages. Some of our lines are extensively researched, some are very sketchy. You're welcome to the good stuff -- hopefully some of you will help fill in our blank spots!

These pages contain a link "Hide All Notes" in the header. Clicking this will remove all notes (text, images, sources), so that only the vital statistics remain for each individual. This should allow an extensive lineage to be more easily visualized. This streamlined page has a link "Show All Notes" at the top to bring back those notes for the complete story of the lineage.

However, not all of my research notes have been edited yet in a form suitable for publication. For those lineages, I have posted only the vital statistics of the lineage, including siblings, cousins and spouses I have collected. I'd be very interested in exchanging information on these lines.

You're invited to read this very brief Introduction to our genealogy which identifies our great-grandparents, tells where their ancestors came from, and where they first lived in this country. Please contact me if you're interested in any of those lineages.
