This is for all those whom came after.
As some sites offer little or no value nor reuse, I have moved my data away from MyHeritage and set up this site.
I will try to keep sources well documented and the information plentiful while not cluttering up the pages.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on this site, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
