Welcome in our worldwide ring of families! Are you
curious about the meaning of your surname, too? Browse this website, it provides
some insight into the fascinating jigsaw of people, their destinies, pictures and
documents called genealogy. Your questions
are gladly answered. Above all there are many interesting and likeable people to
meet!
Who belongs to us?
All people rightfully bearing or having borne any of the
W.-surnames at some time in their life.
This means all born W. as well as those who got
it by marriage or adoption. But an impostor pretending to be a
W. wouldn't be included.
The people living or having lived together with one of the aforementioned
persons as family.
That's spouses and children of W. having another
surname and also the originating families of those spouses who took on a
W.-surname. Too foster childs or other people
living in those families are included, the members of e.g. a flat-sharing
community aren't.
That sounds much more involved than it really is. I will draw an
explaining sketch on occasion.
What is available here?
Some content of general interest is – like this page –
visible publicly, but more personal matters are reserved to the registered
