Family Roots

Read this tale of family history that takes place in formerly German territories located in southern Poland (on my mother's side) and in Lithuania and Latvia (on my father's side), written following a trip that my son and I took in August 2002.

Family Trees

Here are four extensive family trees that contain information about the Porzecanski, Kochmann, Halpern and Wertheim sides of my extended family. Some of the names are linked to old photographs of family members that we have obtained, scanned and posted. For the most updated version of these family trees, please visit http://www.porzecanski.com/trees.htm/
