Research

Below are the primary family branches I am currently researching. Each section represents one of my four grandparents and serves as a hub for surnames, locations, and related lines associated with that branch.

My research is organized by ancestral line rather than by surname alone, as many surnames appear across multiple families and regions. Each branch reflects a distinct geographic and historical context, including Galicia (modern-day Ukraine), the Netherlands, Germany, and surrounding regions in Eastern Europe.

Each branch page includes:

• Direct ancestral surnames

• Related (collateral) surnames connected through marriage or extended family

• Geographic locations associated with that branch

• Notes and context where relevant

• A brief narrative describing the family branch, including background, migration patterns, or other contextual information where available

Surnames may appear in multiple branches when families intersect across regions or generations.
