My family, my life, my story. This blog is my record of my search for ancestors here in the United States and their countries of origin. It is also a record of my life and that of my descendants. Genealogy is a long time passion of mine and I hope you will join me. My main surnames of interest are Grashoff, White, Chaffin, Wells, Matzdorff, Fogleman, Stinehart, Omvig. Past, present, and future all come together. Preserving the present is as important as discovering the past.

I have found Sophia and her children, including my ancestor, Sigismund, Matzdorff entering the United States in New York on December 3, 1874. Port of Departure is Hamburg, Germany and Le Havre France on a ship named Holsatia. How scarey!
