      ABOUT ME

My Ancestors

Remember, as in most of my pages, you can click on the pictures to see larger versions.

This will be revised soon, but for now, here is a bit of my ancestry. 

 I have several pages devoted to the history of my family. Although there aren't a lot of pictures of my ancestors I do have access to a book that two of my distant relatives wrote about our family genealogy.  So I do have lots of information and names throughout the generations. If you are interested you can go to My father's great grandparents and other ancestors  There is a really interesting picture there of Anna standing with some of her grown children on the old farm. Since her husband, Frank, died young, you can see the hard life she lived, in her face. One of her married daughters is in the picture with her children and they all look hardened.  Also there is a link you can click to go to another page I made about the way their ancestors lived in Germany in the 17th and 18th centuries.
