Genealogy, part 0

So before I start talking about the research that I did, I should start by introducing you to the names that I knew when I started. ( Behind a cut for length )

Returning close to home: I have one sister; both she and I have one son and one daughter. My mother is an only child; my father's brother also has two children. So growing up, I thought that, with the exception of the Erlanger branch, which was reserved for special occasions like weddings and reunions, our family was small.

It turns out I was wrong.
