Camplese-Polski-Mundorf -Chachula GenealogyUpdated March 28, 2006 |
This family tree has roots in Poland, Germany, Italy and the British Isles. As is the case in so many modern American familes, most branches arrived in the U.S. in the early decades of the 20th Century; however, one branch was here from before the Revolutionay 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. Our research is ongoing and this site will be updated periodically, as we find more information from the past and present.
