Sorry I failed to mention this before but I am not from Greenville, SC. I simply lived there. I am back in Florida which is where I am from. I managed to get some info since the last time I posted here. I managed to get in touch with my grandma's niece and got info which led to uncovering my grandmother's side. Info on my grandfather's side was a little harder to dig up. First I had to pry the name of the county that my great grandfather died in. Then I had to call the two funeral homes in that county to get his wife's name and his wife's mother's name and his wife's father's name.
Your biological father might not like his father but what about his favorite aunt, cousin, or other relative that might beable to give you information on the family. You might want to look at his birth certificate. Sometimes it tells you if he was the first born, 2nd, and so forth. Some even list the names of siblings. Also check out his parent's birth certificates, they will list both of their parents on the certificates. If any of these people were alive prior to 1930, you might find them on an US census record. Even though some sites charge to look at records such as these, alot of them offer free trial periods. If you have some time off, sign up for a free trial period and just search and save or print copies of the information. Then don't forget to cancel the free trial and reveiw all the information you have collected. Don't forget that researching your ancestry is not easy. Keep trying and read up on how to get people to open up to you. Good luck!
estoy interesada en conocer sobre mi arbol genealógico. MI nombre es Mónica Queris Rojas, vivo en Cuba y hace unos años ando localizando a mi familia con este mismo apellido. En Cuba la familia Queris es pequeña, de hecho las pocas personas con dicho apellido, somo familia. Sabemos que mi abuelo, Tomas Queris tuvo más hijos y que estos emigraron a E.U, estos serían mis tíos, y de seguro tengo algun primo por allá. Por favor, en caso de conocer a alguien con dicho apellido, contactar a queris@ind.cujae.edu.cu o al monikiuv@yahoo.com
Start with your name. Sometimes your name will open up loads of leads - you just have to sift thru them. Your parent's names. Their marriage cerificate will usually have at least one of their parents names on it. Your local library is always a good place to start. Old newspapers (obits), local history books, etc. Courthouse records are good too. Land deeds, will probates, estates, taxes, land grants etc. lots of this information is at your local courthouse. If you still hit a brick wall email me at bgmsanders@aol.com and give me what information you do have and I will give it a shot. Barbara
how do you do research when you have very little information?
Very little information is the name of the game, at least you have some, put in what info you have and try and match things up, don't try and be to spacific to start, close matchs somes times help more, try differant combinations, and differant spellings, sometimes that helps also. Good luck..
Sorry to ask if this is obvious but I did not find the way to generate a second genealogy site based on my mother's name without creating a brand new tree.
This works fine on my father's name but how can I create an new site for my mother's name ?
Hi, I would like any information on the Vornfett famliy?
Heinrich Josef Vornfett b,1920 married Luise Wilma Mudder b,1924. Heinrich & Luise migrated from Bremerhaven Germany to Australia in 1954 with 3 children Ingrid Wilma, Waltraud, Heinrich Josef (junior). Heinrich now deceased had 2 brothers & 5 sisters,one brother Werner believed to be dead missing in action in WW2.
Heinrich parents were Ferdinand Josef Vornfett & Elfriede Henriette Koch (year born unknown).
I'm the daughter of Wilfried Janßen and I live in Germany. I'm a relative of Luise Vornfett. Luise was the sister of my grandmother Gertrud Janßen.
I found your entry by chance, when I was searching the internet for information about our relatives in Australia. Luise Vornfett had visited my grandmother in 1993 for six weeks, so I got to know her.
What relation was Luise to you?
I would be glad, if we could get in contact. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
