My Family History
NAVIGATION: There is an introduction to the whole family on this page. There are then separate pages for each of the main families in the tree, as follows:
Father's side: SNAPPER, LEVESON, KARMEL, GOLDBERG, COHEN, HARMEL, RUBINSTEIN Mother's side: FISCHER, DUB
Father's side: SNAPPER, LEVESON, KARMEL, GOLDBERG, COHEN, HARMEL, RUBINSTEIN Mother's side: FISCHER, DUB
SEPARATE PAGES: Father's side: SNAPPER, LEVESON, KARMEL, GOLDBERG, COHEN, HARMEL, RUBINSTEIN Mother's side: FISCHER, DUB
These pages provide a summary of my family history, which I have been researching for some years. The pages are likely to be 'under construction' for quite a while, as collecting and organising data, and then writing it up, is a time-consuming business. I worked on the project first from 1980 to 1983, in pre-internet days, when my grandparents - a crucial source of initial information - were still alive. I then took it up again 20 years later in 2003, soon discovering how the internet had revolutionised genealogical research.
Above is an illustrated summary tree of my ancestry that goes back to great-grandparents only. Below are separate trees of my father's side (which goes back to great-great-great and great-great-great-great-grandparents) and my mother's side (great-grandparents only), and very brief overviews of each family. There is a separate page for each family which provides more detailed history and some more photos. Eventually, I hope to upload more detailed accounts to these pages. NB: Because of issues to do with data storage and confidentiality, these pages do not include detailed information about living family members. I hope at some stage to make those available on additional password-protected pages.
