I've been researching my family history for 28+ years. I have expanded my family tree to include the history of families that married my direct relatives. My records include photos, newspaper clippings and family memorabilia, which were mostly collected and given to me by my grandmother, Grace (Terpstra) Hintz. Additional records, photos & information also came from great-uncle & aunt Irwin & Maleda (Stephan) Hintz, great-great-aunt Renada (Mohr) Pinekenstein, and my maternal grandparents Harold & Mary (Pinekenstein) Henriksen. My relatives live all over the USA, but the largest concentration of relatives live in Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha & Sheboygan Counties in Wisconsin. I recently began taking and collecting photos of tombstones to keep for additional records. There's nothing like a record literally written in stone!
