Genealogy is a passion of mine. I have been doing genealogy since the 1970's.
It is important to me to remember our departed loved ones. It is said that if a name is not recorded, it will be lost after four generations. I am trying to do my part so that doesn't happen in my families.
Please email me if you have additions, corrections, or stories to share.
I have researched the following families:
*Algava, Aelion, and Haguel from Thessaloniki, Greece and New Brunswick, New Jersey
*Claris from Vishnevitz, Ukraine and later, Kishinev, Moldova
