Genealogy

My thoughts have gone to family this weekend. I have been an amateur genealogist for a few years now.

I find that where we come from is interesting. And it is the search that is part of the fun.

Today I want to honor my mother's family. Her name was Rita Trudeau. Her parents were David Trudeau and Leontine Commeree Trudeau.

David (b. 1885-Illinois) and Leontine (b. 1885-Illinois) had three children:

  • Rita b 8/19/1914 (married L Veeser) d. 10/19/1971

  • Carvil b. 8/25/1917               d. 4/3/1988

  • Hubert (known as Bitz) b. 2/27/1924 d. 08/27/2007

I have included a photo of the three children: Carvil on the left, Rita and young Hubert on the right. Picture is probably around 1930-1932

  1. Dear Ms. Klein,

    May I introduce myself, Harold Veeser of New York City. You might have some suggestions for me because you are a Veeser who is also a genealogist. I plan to visit my father's birthplace this Thursday, the city of Friederichshafen, Germany. Could you advise me how to go about searching my ancestry there? My father Harry Hermann Veeser was born there 9/7/1918. His father, Hans Veeser, and his mother, Alice, both lived there. Many thanks in advance for your kind consideration.

    Yours sincerely, Harold A. Veeser
