NOTE: I had been on hiatus for the past seven years because of illness. Now I am well and have discovered that my medications, for asthma. were the reason. No more BAD meds and I am healthy again. Hope to get back to work on this again. So much has happened in five years. :-(
Now in 2016 I had a fall from some sort of infection and spent all summer in the hospital and nearly died. Home again since September 2nd and much better. So hope can stay healthy from here on.
Raymond Sypniewski's side of the family is from Poland and German. Margaret [nee Knight] Sypniewska's side of the family has Native American, English, Scottish, German, and French connections. I have many "Notables in My Family Tree", and my lineage can be traced back to William I, the Conqueror, and the ancient Scottish Kings.
I have included heraldry, mythology, and religious subjects (saints, religious orders, ancient pagan beliefs) to enhance an understanding of my ancestor's worlds. Countries included on this site are England, Scotland, Poland, Russia, Estonia, Germany, Mexico, the West Indies and Caribbean, and the Americas (including the United States). I have tried to establish a website that gives more than just names and dates. Enrichment of other related facts will make my ancestors come alive and hopefully provide an understanding of what history can teach us.
Enjoy your visit and remember "We Are All Related," whether in blood or beliefs and morals.
