TOUCH POINTS
A Family History & Genealogy Site
LOEWEN / NEUMANN / KLASSEN / PETERS / EITZEN
Our homes are filled with objects (personal items, handcrafted items, tools) that remind us of the people whose memory we cherish. These are the “touch points” that connect us to the memories of those people and events we cherish and wish not to forget. For me, it is the photos and family stories linked to important people in my life. Those stories inspire me and remind me of who I am and of my roots. They are the “touch points” in my life that I have and continue to treasure. This site is a sampling of some important touch points in my life.
The historical overview of my paternal and maternal ancestry, provided here, covers approximately, the period of 1735 to 1950.
