This was the profound motive for my interest in my ancestors as early as my childhood. I want to bring them back into life by gathering information about them. So, I have practiced genealogy for over 50 years, depending on my life´s circumstances with intervals, either superficially, or just intensively and thoroughly, as time permitted.</P> <P>Now I believe the time has gradually come to get around to winding it up, and to see that all my achievements will be preserved for future generations, so that the persons in question will not be totally forgotten again. Partly this has already been accomplished by publications in book form, in journals or on CDRoms, partly it will be realized on this web site.</P> <P>My research findings, now about direct ancestors, then describing wrong tracks (may be important for others !), can be classified as follows:</P> <CENTER> <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="60%" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1"> <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%"> <TR><TD WIDTH="5%"><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>1.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD WIDTH="95%"><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>My ancestry table.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>2.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Bruijnsteen and Bruijnesteijn.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>3.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Brunstein and Braunstein.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>4.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#066000"><STRONG>Coppenrath.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>5.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Van Lammeren.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>6.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Halvegge and Væbner.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>7.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Halewegh.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>8.</STRONG></FONT></TD> <TD><FONT COLOR="#006600"><STRONG>Van Heilewegen.</STRONG></FONT></TD> </TABLE> </CENTER> <P>By means of the <EM>navigator</EM> on the left side of your screen you can reach pages with further information.
