About My Biggart Family Tree
HELLO! This is my family tree to the best of my knowledge....no promises or
guarantees that all of the information is perfectly correct! It's a
constantly evolving work in progress! This has become, for me, a labour of love. At
first, when I started, I just did a google search for my maiden name. I found some
information and then I contacted a cousin, with whom I had never spoken hoping she
would have some more information (and also hoping she would share her information!!)
and so it went after that. She did share! Alot! I now look at genealogy like I
look at putting a puzzle together. Finding that ONE piece! The missing piece and
then it all comes together.
Check out the photos in the album, take your time, and email me if you have any info
that you'd like added or info that needs correction...and a BIG thank you to
everybody who has helped me in my "quest". Especially my husband, Mark. He's pretty
patient when a few minutes turns into an hour (or two)!! This family search stuff
can be addictive!! One thing that I have discovered in my searches is that
Mennonites gave their children surnames that had a meaning or served a purpose
rather than all of the children just taking the husband's surname. Also some of the
boys were given the wife's maiden name as a surname so that line would continue on.
Sometimes there were second marriages which joined 2 families with different last
names together and then there were children born from the second marriage too.
There could be a number of children in the same household with different surnames
between them all. Makes it more difficult to search, but also keeps searching
interesting! Please sign the guest book so that I know you were here!! Keep
smiling ..... and thanks for dropping by.
