I started my family tree about 30 years ago with pencil and ruler. I then got a computer and a word processor and now have the Family Tree Maker. I haveover 600 relatives and have entered their photos into the Family Tree Maker scrapbook. I am now focusing on my Grandfather who came from Germany (now Rudzinitz, Poland).I have documented my findings and distributed them on CD-ROM to family in the United States and Geistert families in Europe.
The picture at the left is, my wife and I, and our seven grandkids. (Picture taken in December 2006)

I have identified the entire Geistert Tree in the United States. The family of Wilhelm Geistert was constructed from translated letters written in the 1930's by Anny Geistert. We have contacted many Geistert families in Germany and Switzerland and to this day have found no connection. We are still looking.
