Family history — Zehlendorf 267/365


I’ve been researching the history of my family for over 15 years. This is part of the result, which I still don’t know how to make it readable. Going back to 1525, in this case, my father’s family is a combination of Spaniards, French, Genovese, Cubans and Mexicans. Some were polygamists, other nuns, some of them sold wheat, one fought against the independence of Texas and later became a guerrillero, many were rich, and relatives married relatives, so no wonder that my grandmother has her husband’s niece. I’m not interested in the genealogy per se, but in the stories behind each of them. Today, I just finished updating my map and am getting ready to research in a new archive next month.
