This website provides information about Vic Berecz' ancestors in historic Hungary and Joan Luhrs' German ancestors. We have also included a few Collateral Lines found in our 11,000+ person family database. We intend that no living persons ... other than the two of us ... are identified in this website. If a living person is inadvertently identified, please let us know and we will gladly correct the oversight. Henceforth, changes to this site will be made incrementally, and when significant will be marked with the New Content symbol.

We are proud Americans. As with most Americans, our ancestors came to these shores relatively recently. In our immediate families, the immigration took place in the first quarter of the 20th century. So, all eight of our grandparents were born in Europe. We've chosen to make each of those grandparents a starting-point in one of the eight sets of web pages that document our direct-line ancestors. These Detailed Ancestry Pages include photographs where available, complete sets of notes, and identify readily accessible sources. A few collateral lines (relatives by marriage) are also handled in this manner.

We also provide two other types of resources. Indented Descendants' Lists are available for portions of our family database where significant information is available that is not shown in the direct-line ancestries. These lists provide names plus birth/death information where available, plus an index for ease of access. Descendants' Lists labeled Family (rather than a specific individual) indicates that the people listed for Generation 2 may or may not be siblings, but are likely all related since they bear the same surname and lived in close proximity to each other at the time of the first written records. The final resource we provide is a group of Research Reports, authored by Vic Berecz, on specific topics related to our family's history. Like the Descendants' Lists, these copyrighted reports may be viewed or downloaded in PDF format.

The Under Construction symbol: indicates that changes or additions are likely to be made in the near future. The nature of these changes is usually explained.

The New Content symbol: indicates that the item represents significant new content. This symbol will normally be left in place about six months.
