I hope you enjoy browsing and want to encourage you to learn more about where our families came from. This site is the ongoing work of thirty years of research and includes the collaboration of family and friends.
I am very interested in seeing that this information is correct and up to date, so please contact me at Hnmfamilycontact@gmail.com so any errors can be fixed. I would also like to show current photos of individuals and wedding photos and will include any you send me. Many of my photos were found on Facebook and I will gladly change or remove any that you would like me to. I have specifically included them because I feel that it is nice to put a face to your name!
I would like to thank those researchers who have helped me on my quest, especially Martha LevZion z'l, whose research is now at the Leo Baeck Institute and Luke Rothman. Martha's research led me to the discovery that Tom's paternal grandmother was not the "orphan" we thought her to be. Luke's research has found much more of my grandmother Helen Landes's family and what became of them. I'd also like to thank the many relatives who took the time to send me photos and details of their family units. This site would not have been possible without so much help.
This is the public side of the site and will not show living individuals. I am concerned about identity theft but want our youngest generation to see where they come from. Please contact me if you are a relative and interested in the entire site.
