William & Josephine

All Their Descendants
“The Family”

Counting William & Josephine as the first generation, there are now seven (soon to be eight) generations of their descendants living about the globe (the sun never sets on this family!).

The paragraph titles below and the buttons above provide access across the generations to individual persons, family trees, and collections of photos, diaries, etc.

Please keep in mind, that for reasons of privacy and protection against fraud, we can only provide information on deceased members of our family, i.e. the first three or four generations. To find your particular family branch, you may need to know the names of your grandparents or great-grandparents.

Person Index: Organised by surname (women are included twice, unmarried & married), the index provides direct access to each person’s page or that of their spouse or closest ancestor.
Descendants Tree: Each tree begins with William & Josephine, or one of their children who in turn had descendants: Josephine, William, Alfred, and John. The trees are linked to individual family member pages.
Ancestral Trees: Ancestral trees of many spouses traced back to 1800 or earlier.
Benitz ancestors are traced back to the 1590s.
