Home Surname List Name Index Sources Email Us | The Schliesser - Hicks Family TreeHello! Welcome to my web site! This family tree contains over 15,000 names. Approximately half of the database features my husband's side (primarily English origins), and the other half features my side (German and Norwegian origins). It includes ancestors and cousins from the past, as well as present-day relatives. I have included all known descendants of our great-great grandparents to "reunite" the family branches that have gone their separate ways. On the web site, for privacy protection, personal information (such as birth info) is automatically blocked for all living individuals. I am striving to make the database as accurate as possible, so please let me know if you find any errors. (I hope to put together a book someday of ancestors and descendants for each branch.) If your family is part of this family tree, please contact me, so that I can verify and update the data I have in my main records. I maintain source information for all data; however, the source file is now so large that I am not able to upload it to this web site. Contact me if you are interested in knowing a specific source. Over the years, I have done research on the various ancestral branches of the family (most extensively on the Norwegian Borsheim/Burshem branch -- the German Spiegel branch -- and the Goho family). I periodically hire Jens Mueller-Koppe of Bremen, Germany, to do research on my lines from Hannover & Oldenburg, Germany. Along the way, many relatives have shared information with me. I appreciate each one, and would like to make mention of the following researchers who made major contributions: Virginia Cornet & Velma Engler: (Schliesser Family) Charles C. B. Goodwin: (Hahn Ancestry) Veldon Hix: (Hicks Ancestry) Aaron H. Hunter: (Hadley Ancestry) Alden G. Lien: (Lien Family) Velma I. Schliesser: (Schliesser Family) Joycelyn H. Spellman: (Spellmann-Hahn Families) Charles E. Steffler: (Steffler-Rilling Lines) Enjoy your visit to the site! Martha J. (Schliesser) Hicks ---------------------------- P.S.
