I started genealogy in about 1992 when my uncle Laverne
showed me family tree charts and histories written by other family members such as John Charles. As they where all on paper, and I was a young computer & internet age person, I decided it put all that family info into an affordable Genealogy program (Brothers Keeper). And then put about 2000+ names onto the servers at Iowa State University for Internet sharing in about 1993. I now use schlesselman.MyHeritage.com and my collaborator in Europe uses schlesselmann.myheritage.com

Some of my oldest ancestors listed are:
Heinrich Schleßelmann Earliest born (1811) Schlesselman/Schleßelmann listed and lived in USA.
Catharina Klindtworth Also born 1811
Frank Bors
Anna Kasza
Johann Sticht
Maria Tietjen
William Hissänkemper/Schmidt
Johann Ahrens
Maurice Carroll
Anne McGlynn
