Trapani Family History Website

Please note: From now on, updates to this page will appear at its new location (click to go there, the URL is: http://www.firstcirclezek.com/genealogy/trapanifamilyhistory.html). In addition, full-sized pictures may be available only at the new site. Thanks! (JT: 8/15/2005)

About these pages: These pages represent a collaborative effort between my grandparents (Jim and Jo Trapani) and myself (Josh Trapani) to lay out our family history in an accessible and systematic fashion. I searched for records and organized the website. My grandparents provided the framework within which to work; they also provided the photographs and anecdotal information so that we are able to present a picture of our relatives as the individuals they were, rather than just sets of vital statistics. We would also like to thank the other relatives who contributed information for this website, including some who first got in touch through this website!

As the picture of our family history is by no means complete, this website should be considered a work in progress and will be updated as more information comes to light. Growing up, I thought our family was small and boring - now I see I was wrong on both counts.

See below the index for information on how these pages were made and on sources. A good place to start is with the marriage of "Mother" and "Father" Trapani below (marked with ***).

How these pages were made: Data were entered into Ancestry Family Tree 9.0.5 and exported into a GEDCOM file. The GEDCOM source file was modified in Microsoft Word to allow for some features not otherwise supported, like the captioned thumbnails linked to full-size images, and the links to biographical and anecdotal pages. Arbor Vita was then used to generate the HTML. I am expert in neither web design nor genealogy, and comments and suggestions are welcome on the layout of this site.

Sources: We have not tied the information in this website to specific sources, but sources utilized include: birth certificates; death certificates; the 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 federal censuses, the 1897 Lain's Brooklyn directory, Social Security application cards and the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), Ellis Island ship's manifest records, baptism records, marriage records, naturalization records, burial records and military records.
