The purpose of this page is to make available information on the Edwards and related families, specifically Andersen, Berg, Davis, Farvid (فروير), Floor (Φλογέρας), Franklin, Gray, Jenkins, Kudrna, Larsen, Moore, and Trinkl, which originate in New Zealand, Iran, England, Wales, Greece, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and other parts of Europe. I have withheld details on those individuals who are or may be still alive, for obvious reasons. Their names will appear only as “LIVING.” Please feel free to contribute comments or corrections. As always, this is a work in progress, and hence, will never be totally complete. This page is also here to provide genealogical services and links to genealogical helps.
Thanks to all those who have contributed information in one way or another, especially Alan A. Farvid, Hossein Farvid, Clifford H. Edwards, Selden Taylor, Evelyn Jensen, Frances Jackson, Harold M. Berg, Ray Abbott, Joan and David Sisson, Lynda Robinson, Ian Clapham, the Larsen Family History Organization, Wendell Rawlings, Sue Simonich, Rosie Floor, Janet Doyle, Dick Brougham, and many many others.
For those
needing genealogical research services for areas within the current boundaries
of the
Various Lines?
n
Norwegian
lines: I have added over a hundred Norwegian names to the Berg
and Andersen lines, taken from bygdebøker in Dec 2002.
n
Czech
and Austrian lines: I’ve added several hundred names
on these lines, which I researched in Europe in September 2003.
n
Danish
lines: I’ve just discovered that someone
is working on the Anne Marie Baggesen line from Copenhagen (found in IGI,
submitted 2002). I hope I can prove
through a will that Herman Baggesen is the father of Anne Marie. If this connection is correct, they switched
from patronymics to using a fixed surname by this time.
n
German
names: Only two names were added to my German line, (in the
Dames family) from my Europe trip. I
did, however, find many Witte’s in Quedlinburg in tax
records. Although the relationships can’t be proven until, for example, wills in Magdeburg are
checked, they are undoubtedly related. I
checked four Zeitz parishes, but I was not able to find our Elsholtz
family. However, I did find several
families there of that name. I have
included these many miscellaneous Dames, Eslholz, and Witte names I was unable
to connect to the famliy, in a GEDCOM below.
*Note that when using Windows XP with this program, the Arabic character ligatures will not be created properly (stand-alone versions of characters only are shown). The only fix I know of is using the Arial Unicode MS font, available with Microsoft Office. There is no problem viewing the characters with Windows 95, 98, or 2000, however.
