Hi, I'm Leslie - Welcome to my family page! I started my research with my paternal grandparents: KLAAS (Klaus) SCHEER and ETHEL WILHELMINA WRIGHT It all started with my grandfather Klaus Scheer trying to throw out a box of musty photos from the shed at the back of his garden in Grand Forks. I asked him instead to sit with me and tell me about as many as he could. I think he found my request more than amusing, but he did. Together we wrote on many of them as to who was in the pictures.It made me recall my grandmother Ethel Wright telling me a few stories from some of those pictures. I soon realized we had a rudimentary family tree going, and my father Tom got involved in the hunt for more information as well.Grampa Klaus gave me a whole bunch of extra copies of those photos and I or my brother still have them. Later some newspaper articles were added and a few more photos. Since then, on and off, I have been searching both of grandparents family trees. I hope to post here a lot of my results as I would like to share these with all of our family. Spring 2001 Had a week with the photos and a good scanner, and I scanned in quite a few good ones to share with you! October 2001 working on Klaas' family tree and I am back to the turn of the century...that would be the turn of the 18th to the 19th Century! Hoping for more soon from the Netherlands. 2002 Busy remarrying and moving to Texas (it really is a whole other country) 2003 back at the research! If you have any family memories or information you would be willing to share, PLEASE email them to me - I would love to hear from you! Thank you in advance!
