Bio

I was born in Germany, but have been living in North West England for many years.
Almost all my contributions to findagrave are linked to my own genealogy research, so if you would like to see further details for a particular person, please go to one of my 4 genealogy projects. Here is short description :

EMIGRANTS FROM SINDELFINGEN
https://gw.geneanet.org/sindolf_w
Based on German records this is a list of some 1300 emigrants from my home town. This is meant to aid other family historians with their German ancestors, I try to record where they settled and list their spouses and children.

HELD-HORNIKEL-ROCKEY-LINN
https://gw.geneanet.org/sindolf_w
Here I am trying to list all my ancestors, going as far back as possible. Mostly people from Sindelfingen,Germany, some American and many medieval European ancestors.

DESCENDANTS OF MICHAEL HELD OF ZABERN,ALSACE
http://wc.rootsweb.com/~kh2
Here I have chosen my oldest known ancestor ,who lived around 1560 to 1600, and try to find as many descendants as possible. Mostly German and French records, but also a few in various countries.

YOUD OF CHESHIRE & YOUDS FROM WIRRAL
https://gw.geneanet.org/karlheld
Two one-name studies, I collect everybody of these surnames with a connection to Cheshire county in England. Lots of loose ends to begin with, the aim is to link people with each other through the centuries.

HOLLINGWORTH FAMILIES OF ALTRINCHAM
http://wc.rootsweb.com/~ph1
Another example of a one-name study, this time I collect everybody with the surname Hollingworth but only from one particular town in Cheshire, England.
