Family Tree History & Research
Growing My Tree and Tracing the Branches
New Discoveries
It has been a little more than two years since I discovered my Mother's ancestry from her Dietz and Pope family lines back to Plymouth and Colonial New England and England and Europe. Before that I had discovered Repinski and Dulek family lines that took me back to the 1700s of Poland and Germany with my paternal lines.
I have been working on finding out as much about all of the branches of all of these amazing lines (and unknown to my immediate family until my discoveries) that are part of this tree since then.
It has and continues to be a thrilling journey and the histories and how they connect to the history of our world are at times mind boggling.
Here on this page I shall try to record the ancestors I am discovering and the cousins that we share as a part of all of these lines and it is my hope that I can write stories on each and every one of them and in the process get to know who these people from the past and who live now are.
My reasons for doing this are two fold..
1.To know and have a written record of my family history for myself.
2.To have an enduring record for my siblings and their children and their descendants.
Each day that I dig into the branches I discover at least two to four more ancestral great grandparents and relatives and though not always, the stories of their lives.
This post will be updated often.....
