Camplese-Polski-Mundorf -Chachula Genealogy

Updated September 21, 2010

This family tree has roots in Poland, Germany, Italy and the British Isles. As is the case in so many modern American families, most branches arrived in the U.S. in the early decades of the 20th Century; however, one branch was here from before the Revolutionary War and participated in most of the great events of U.S. history. Wherever their origins, they all came together in Central Pennsylvania in the 20th Century.

Research is ongoing and this site will be updated periodically.
