We love our family. Most of our ancestors are of Pennsylvania Dutch extraction. Some were "Gay Dutch", i.e. Luthers and Reformed. Some were "Plain Dutch", i.e. Amish, Mennonite and Brethren. But whatever the case, they were a hard working, God fearing people whom we revere and love. They made it possible for us to be here today. We dedicate these pages to those that went before us. Thank you!!

We have been doing genealogy for years. Our particular brand of genealogy research focuses on identifying our imigrant ancestors and then collecting all of the descendants of that individual. In so doing we have collected over half a million people in our database. Along the way we have obtained many non-related collateral lines as well. Our database can now be viewed online by just digging in or by following some of the other entry points found below. We hope that you find enjoyment here.

You are welcome and encouraged to make additions and corrections to the database. This can be done by sending your information to Don & Jeanine at FamilyHart@aol.com . Typically, only those that are related by blood or marriage to Don or Jeanine will be added to the database. Additional non-related collateral information generally will not be added to the database unless it is significant to those families already in the database. Any family information sent to FamilyHart implies permission to use that information online without limitation for genealogical purposes. Do not send us information that you do not want online. We will NOT remove names in the database...sorry. Our policy is also not to respond to these type of requests. Remember that public domain information does include names, dates, and places. Privacy law does not apply to public domain information. Our practice however is: Dates and places for living individuals will not be displayed online for those individuals born AFTER 1930, though we do maintain that information in our offline database. Also note that the 1930 Census is publicly available.

ADVICE: When any financial institution or any other entity asks you for your mother's maiden name for identification purposes, give them a ficticious name. These companies really don't care if you give them a false name or not. All they want is an easy-to-remember code phrase to identify you. Mother's maiden names are too easy to come by these days to use for identification purposes.
