משפּחה געשיכטע פּראָיעקט

I originally started blogging at the end of February 2013 to record all the family research on-line. I had been compiling the family history since I graduated college in 2004 putting my history skills to use for the practical purpose of recording the family history. I materially completed the project at the end of 2013 but occasionally added another story. Feel free to download or print the PDFs available on this page. They are free to everyone.

עליס-מאָסבלעטש משפּחה – My maternal grandparents, Gilbert Ellis and Alvina Mosblech, were the focus of this project. I lacked information about my grandfather’s family because his father William died when Grandpa was two years old. Through public records, I know more about his father than Grandpa did. Grandma was one of 14 children. Grandpa was an only child. An updated PDF copy of this research can be downloaded.

I also compiled this family history in a paperback with pictures for anyone who wanted a book copy of the project. It only contains the information I had up to 2013.

Diaz Family History – אין 1981, my mother remarried my stepfather, ערנעסט C. דיאַז. Dad raised us, so I wanted to record his family history as well. His father, יוסף דיאַז, was a Mexican immigrant. His mother, מאַריע מאָעללענבערג, was a first generation American child of German immigrants. א copy of the PDF is available for everyone.

Zimmerman-Deweese Family History – My paternal grandparents, פראַנק אָ. Zimmerman and Eloise V. דעוועעסע, were born and raised in Southeast Missouri. Frank O.’s father Parker was killed by Cape Girardeau Tornado of 1949. Eloise’s grandfather John Riley Deweese held the position of Republican Party Committee Chairman for Welch Township, קאַפּ גיראַרדעאַו. An updated PDF is available here.

I also compiled a paperback for this project for anyone wanting a book copy of the family history. It only contains the information up to 2016.

I hope you find this project helpful in your family history journey.
