Resource Links

This my attempt to organise the resources that I have used to generate this web site.

First mention must go to my friend and mentor Meleeshka without
  which this family research would not have happened.

 

 

 rita-b

 

Second mention has to go to Rita, archivist in the Latvian State
  Archives who was able to provide the extensive Vinitzky information
  which I would never have found alone.

 


Third mention goes to "Aunt" Mildred who is a terrific source of information
about the family history in the USA and plans to send us some old photos
when time allows.

In addition thanks to, in no particular order, those mostly newly found cousins and
relatives, who have helped in the research

Danielle who provided the "Winitch" photos making the link to Charles possible.
Before this I was searching for "Winnick" and sent more than 90 letters to the USA
in vain.

Karl for his encouragement, family info, being a mate, and for driving 400km in the rain from
Amsterdam on his motorbike to lend me his great collection of family photos.

Janice for lots of family information, the link to Hilary and making me feel part
of the family.

Hilary for the family information, the link to Canada and the fantastic old photos.

Mindy and Gloria for the family tree information in Canada.

Gordon for the family tree information.

Barbara for the extensive Worman family tree information.

Roland for the Ahnenpass documents required by the Nazis in the 1930s for the
Sedlacek and Hempel families.

Charles for giving me the basic USA information

Maria Ines for the Spanish/Chile family information

Russel for family info and the music

Freddie for being Freddie!

Annegret for the Berlin pictures.

Graham in Australia for the Worman information.

Alan, Ruth, Rosalind, David and many others for their contributions to the
family tree information.

And lastly Vitali for his Russian translations and help
