Englisch - General Introduction

About this site

This site is written in German - mainly. Only very few known ancestors emigrated therefore the 'target group' is German speaking.

The aim of this site is to present my genealogical research to a broader audience. Starting with my 2 kids (Thomas and Yvonne) I researched their ancestors as far back as possible (the Breitwieser-line goes back to about 1600, Reisinger to about 1560!) and to follow all descendants till present time. Of course, not all the research is completed yet. So far more than 3200 persons with about 950 unique surnames are included in these 4 mayor lines (including the ancestors of my two kids).

To develop the pages a English utility was used. Therefore you will find quite a lot of 'anglicism' throughout the pages. It was/is not my intention to remove them.

Mayor lines are:

Bindeus my father-in-law		Geographical focus: The geographical focus is Upper Austria (northern part - Haslach, Helfenberg, Rohrbach, St. Peter/Wimberg and St. Johann/Wimberg - as well as the districts of Linz, Grieskirchen, Wels and Eferding) with some branching out to Vienna, Styria and Carinthia. A few relatives are living in Germany, Russia, Swiss and U.S.A. All individuals are listed under their 'birth-name' (also married persons) The main-index of each branch should read: 'Kurzbiographie' = 'Short Biography' (German only!) 'Nachkommens-/Vorfahrensbaum' = 'Tree of Descendants/Ancestors' (pdf-file - Acrobat Reader required!) 'Nachnamensliste' = 'List of Surnames' (German & English) 'Namensindex' = 'Index of Names' (surnames & given names in German & English) 'Quellen' = 'Sources (Bibliography)' (German & English)
