I have been researching my genealogy now for over 30 years since I was a teen. I have been able to trace my Alter and Munsch surname back to the late 1500's and early 1600's Other surnames have been taken back to the 1700's. These files are all available in the private section of the site along with the proof documents and photos. I would like to hear from you, and compare our research.

I will never charge a fee to access this site. I do however accept donations from time to time to help maintain this site, but it is not mandatory that you make any donation to use it. It only helps me with the costs that I incur. It is expensive to maintain this site on a yearly basis. There are domain registrations fees, hosting server fees, and other expenses that I incur to keep this site up and running. If you can afford a few bucks here and there, thank you. It will go to the maintenance of this site. Otherwise, still feel free to register and make use of the information this site contains.

I ask that if you have any information,that you post it in the forum board and share it, or email me with it so I can add it. An occasional article on our family history or some old family photos that have been scanned into JPEG format will also be appreciated. I thank you for the support and help.

The Alter surname is as complete as I can get it going back. I am still working to update the Alter line that is more current with present dates such as the cousins. I am also working on many of the other surname lines.

The names that are linked to my family genealogy are : Alter, Wohlfeil, Dobberstein, English, Ward, Henderson, McFarland, Munger, Lillie, Koenig, (Konig, King ) Ruloff, Tyc, Talik, Munsch, Beavers, Hanks, Snodgrass, Randal, and many many more...

Help Needed:

At the current time I need help in these areas.

I am doing research on the English, Wohlfeil, Ward, and Lillie surnames. My wife is researching the Beavers, and Hanks surnames. If anyone has any information on one of these surnames, please let me know, or post the info on the message board for all of us to see.
