Hello fellow researchers,

I'm relatively new at this so I apologize in advance if I am breaking a convention by posting this information. Below is everything I have on Sylvester German and family, with date and place information marked private if the individual is still living. I'd love to hear back from folks that can fill in the missing pieces of the tree, and hope some of the information I've posted is useful. For example, I've been able to cross-check against some death certificates, and try to note where I did so.
