The following information is based on my research and that of other researchers who have shared their information on family compositions. On each family group sheet, contributors are identified and their email addresses are provided. I would like to thank those researchers for sharing their hard work and their love for genealogy.
Sincerely,
Ran Raider
The following family group sheets should only be used as guides and reference points for further research. Happy Hunting!
