Bio

I've been interested in the family history ever since I saw Wissinger's posted at the Ebensburg War Memorial when I was about 10 years old. Then in 1977, my family was contacted by Dr. Donald O. Wissinger, author of the Wissinger Genealogy published in 1976. He found us via my great-aunt Bessie Irene Wissinger who was a major contributor. Our exchange of letters with Dr. Wissinger opened my eyes to the world of genealogy and I wanted to learn more. But this didn't occur until I moved to the greater Phoenix, Arizona area in the late 1980's where I discovered the Mesa, Arizona branch of the LDS Family History Library. The hook was set and of course a visit to the famous LDS library in Salt Lake City was in order. With the advent of email and the Internet, I began to seek and gather Wissinger related data world-wide and have a collection of about 54,000 people in my database. In 2000 I started my Wissinger Genealogy web site at Wissinger.com and in 2004, I started the Wisinger DNA web site project with Terry Barton. So, I've been researching the Wissinger family for at least 30 years as an amateur genealogist. And, I love to exchange information and help with Wissinger inquiries.
