I was born in Wisconsin in 1955, and have remained in Wisconsin. I started working on my family tree when diagnosed with COPD in 2012, and put on disability. I started my search by looking at census reports one by one until I found family members. My aunt from my mothers side, and my uncle from my fathers side sent me information and pictures they had gathered over the years.
I later got a subscription with Ancestry, and did eventually have a DNA test after an aunt had it done.
I must say that both the Luckow and the Elmer families are difficult families to trace. They both tend to name their children the same names, if one child dies they name the next child that same name. So in the beginning much confusion. I learned not to except fact at face value when found on a site.
I am new at wikitrees and look forward to learning your ways, I will ask and answer questions once I know what this site is all about.
My family is mostly from Germany originally, with a part from Switzerland.
So Hello everyone, I will slowly but surely enter info as a learn your programs.
