Contact and Info Updating

Here’s the information needed to update your/your family’s entry:

Broadly: Major dates and locations for the lives of people in the lineage and spouses of those in the lineage. Also, stories and positive memories you’d like to share.

Specifically:
For each person in the lineage, we need Full Names (first, middle, last) Date of Birth, Location of Birth, Date(s) of Marriage, Location(s) of Marriage, (Divorce month/years, if applicable), Military Service Information (if applicable) and Occupation, Date of Death, Location of Death, Burial Location. The same is desired for your children.
For each spouse of someone in the lineage, we need all of the above and in addition, the names of their parents.
For each household it would be great if we can get a favorite story including your parents or Zehnder memories. If you don’t have any, that’s okay, you’ll probably enjoy reading them when you eventually get your book.

Hesitant? Please know I will not publish information on living people on the free internet. Much of the historical information is in the public record, but what we’re doing concentrates that in one place. The eventual full color paper book/binder with pictures is going to be $30 to $50, depending on the edition, which means it probably won’t be widely published. Also, anyone who wants one has to come to me and be in my records, so there’s that.

The best way to submit your family’s information is to email it to me. Here is a PDF form and Here is a Word form you can download and edit or print to help with collection. If you’d rather schedule a phone interview, I’m happy to do that, and if you want to snail-mail me something, contact me and I’ll get you my mailing address.
