User Home Pages: Berg & Stone Family Origins
Welcome to my family research home page.The information in the book "Origins of the Berg & Stone Families" below focuses on the families of my grandparents:On my father's side, the Bergs and Reinemers.For my mother, the Stone and Criss/Howard families. A number of important branch families are, of course, also represented in the book.Some of the more prevalent names include Zimmerman, Kaiser, Blancken, Nelson, Gentry and Leathco.Additionally, an index to all the people in our family file is included as a stand-alone report with birth & death dates, location of birth and spouse's name. In my opinion, the most interesting sections in the Book are the three collections of stories, notes and legends:"I Came to America Barefoot and Redheaded," "Ghosts on the Homestead, "And I have Worked Ever Since."Click in the Report section below and take a look around -- interesting stuff. And please feel free to drop me a line or e-mail with any additional information you may have.Who knows, we may be related! Best regards, Ron ************** The Latest and Greatest: Soile and I were married on May 6, 2000.As a result, we suddenly have many new Finnish relatives!The GEDCOM family tree attached includes information for both families.Soile's research focuses on her Laitinen and Ryhanen family heritage. There is significant new information included about Berg ancestors from Småland, Sweden (Norra Sandsjö and surrounding parishes) going as far back as 1760.A number of "new" people are included in the attached GEDCOM family tree with a summary of the research in "New Swedish Research" linked below.Many thanks to Soile's brother, Jukka Laitinen, for his help in connecting us with some very good (and nice!) Swedish researchers, Äke Stern and Alvar Karlsson! RWB | Berg & Stone Family Origins Updated December 18, 2008 |
