Family Trees

There is something very meaningful about old family trees.  Some are nearly incomprehensible jumbles or in an almost illegible handwriting.  Others are beautifully written or designed.  All are full of information that can bridge gaps in the available records.   And, if they are from long enough ago, it seems very likely that their information is reliable -- uninfluenced by the dubious information that fills so many family trees today.

I encourage anyone with family trees focused on people living in Silesia, Posen Province, West Prussia and East Prussia, former areas of Germany which became part of Poland after the War, to share images of those family trees with Family Memory Trust.  It would be a pleasure to see these family trees and a privilege to post them on this website (with consent of the donor).
