GENERAL INFORMATION

The information/documents contained on this site reflect the Giering/Gühring Family Trees. Most - probably all - of the trees have roots that originate in the "old" country (Germany); these trees will be inter-connected to other trees when data from the orin has been identified and included.

While reading the material in this Web Site, if any term is unfamiliar, please refer to the Glossary of Terms.

This Web Site is made up of four parts plus a Main Menu.

The First or Primary portion of this site is a set of document pages - referred to a Worksheet pages. Each worksheet represents an individual or family in the collection. Each such individual or family has a unique Identification Number associated with it. A list of the names of these individuals is found in the

Index of Names.

Each person is listed in the index for each of his/her names (except the common GIERING name). For example, if John Paul Jones were to be listed, the name would be found as "Paul Jones, John", "Jones, John Paul" as well as "John Paul Jones".

A second (and equally important) portion of this web site is the

"Offspring Chart Pages".

Until the individual lines of the family trees project have been inter-conected, there will be separate individual family charts. Each set of chart pages - when taken as a set - is the "family tree" for one of the lines.

All of these tree charts - when lookd at in a reverse chronology order - has as its "origin" in a "list of trees" as found via the Mail Chart Page.

The third portion of this web site is a set of pages making up a "support Section". This page is one of them. For details on this section, use the link and return to the "mail support Page".

Probably the least used, but the most usable portion of this web site is the available "search Engine." The operation of this search engine is limited to the contants of this web site. A search, using the available boolean connectors and operators, will locate the document/pages that satisfy the visitor's stated requirement.

MAIN MENU

The Main Menu is on the top of the five primary pages, each of which has a link to it in the main menu. The Main Menu is designed to afford visitors the opportunity to move from any point within the Giering/Gühring Family Trees Web Site to any other. The site is constructed in three multi-page oriented sections; each of which has a "main" page. In addition to these three main pages there is a Home page (the page a visitor sees when first being attached to the site) and a Search Template page (for more information on this page, see The Search Help Document. These are the five primary pages on which a copy of the Main Menu exists. accede

Each of the five elements making up the main menu has a title indicating to which page the element is a link; it also contains an image for identification. While viewing the page to which the link of the elemnt would aply, the background color for that element is Grey - the other elements have a yellow background color indicating the link to that section is active.

For more information on the three multi-page oriented sections, see The Document Types Section.

MISSION AND GOALS

1. Family Line Connection - As is defined on the main chart page, there are a number of seemingly independent Giering Family lines - some in the United States, sone in England and some in Germany. It is the Author's belief that all of them stem from some single origin - probably in Germany. The first Major Goal is to identify and catalog the relationship between the independant lines, connecting them together making one composite line.
2. Medical Information - A longer range goal deals with medical information. As Medical Science advances, it is finding many hereditary relationships for various maladies. I believe that future generations - in order to become more aware/knowledgeable of possible inherited conditions - will need as much family medical history information as can be obtained. To collect and record that information is my goal! For more detrail about this goal, please read the letter requesting Medical information the author sends to most visitors.

   IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

   Each of the worksheet document pages in this site - other than the chart pages - represents an individual identified in one of the family trees. All known information concerning that individual including parentage, offspring, photographs, etc. are included in that document. Documents are identified by a "page number" which is also that person's identification number. These numbers are of the form "gg_nnn". This number defines:

   • GENERATION NUMBER - The "gg" is the generation number from the Author's Genealogy Notebooks. This is an arbitrary generation identification and starts with generation eleven (11) (see below for earlier numbers) for the oldest United States Generation known: ANDREAS - Date of Birth circa 1729. The Generation Number is a two or three character number between ten and up (the ten and up series represents a new series - the older series is between one and nine - and all information is being converted; it is believed viewers will see only the new series).
     
     
   • NUMBER WITHIN GENERATION - The "nnn" is a one-up number starting with one for each generation.
     
     
   • The Generation Number and the Number Within Generation indicates the location of information on that individual. The two parts are divided by either a dash or an underscore. A dash is used for the older series while an underscore is used for the ten and up series. The composite number is an identification of where in the genealogy book's the worksheets, letters and other written information may be located. The newer number series is also used as a file name for a computer maintained factfile on the individual.
     
     
   • An initial letter of "Y" indicates that the individual or group is not the subject or offspring of the worksheet document page, but is mentioned therein. A leading "A" indicates the Generation Number is approximate.
     
     
   •     EXAMPLE: A page number of 015_009 would mean the person that is the principal for that file/worksheet/document page is the ninth person identified of the fifteenth generation.
     
     
   • There are two known exceptions to this definition:
     
     
     • The first deals with the use of the leading "A" as described in the preceding paragraph.
       
       
     • The second occurs when there are two principals in a document. This generally exists when cousins intermarry. This is especially true when the couple's relationship is "removed." In these instances, both husband and wife are considered the principals for the worksheet document and, if "removed", children are of the next generation based on the higher of the two (husband and wife) generation numbers. In this case the commentary section of the worksheet document will address the generation anomaly. On Chart pages where this occurs, there is a "footnote" reference. This reference is a link to the actual footnote that so identifies this cousin relationship.

   ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

   The Author gratefully acknowledges the help and support in the collection of Genealogical Information, the assembly of this Web Site and backing that allowed the fruition of this on-going project:

   • My Sister, Sandy - As I started this project, she was a great help in the initial research at the Emmaus Moravian Church.
     
     
   • My Son, Rick - When it was decided to place this information on a Web Site, he was of enormous help in many ways.
     
     
   • Barry Pase - Most, if not all, of the animation used in the various parts of this Web Site were obtained from Barry's Clip Art Web Site. The clip art demonstarted at this site is indicative of his work, and I most heartily recommend him.
     
     
   • Tom Savola - Tom is one of the Authors (I like to think of him as the major author, although his co-authors might disagree, this is my opinion only) of the book, "Using HTML Second Edition, I used in teaching myself the use of HTML. Without that book and Tom's help, I would have been hard pressed to put together this site.
     
     
   • Last, but not least, My wife, Carol - With patience and support, she has accepted my time at my desk in these retirement years, both in the collection process and in the generation of the web pages. Without her support, this project would not have been possible.
