A FAMILY GENEALOGY

compiled by John Ernfrid Windh

Welcome one and all. We hope you will find much of interest here.

After gathering information for some years (with much help from Marion Bowman), I posted this project online on December 24, 2000, as a Christmas gift to all the families it documents. Since then, many people have emailed me additional data until it now includes more than 6500 families and nearly 10,000 names. In the Melland family it goes back beyond 11th-century Norwegian King Harald Hardrada to mythical fourth-century Vikings. If you can offer further additions or corrections, please email me at windh@mac.com.

Navigating

    This genealogy project began with the grandparents of John Windh, Elsa (Freise) Windh and Dorothy (Windh) Maurstad and the parents of Marion Maurstad. There are links to those particular forebears under Starting places below.

    To look for other people by name, click Index (first and last names) or Surnames (last names) below or at the top of any page.

    Once you're looking at a specific person's page, click on that person's name to see a person sheet which may offer additional notes. Click Family at the top of that person sheet to return to that person's main page.

    Beside some names there are small camera icons. Each will take you to a page of photos.

    Clicking Contents or Contact at the top of any page will bring you back to this page.
