The Selenski Family of Minneapolis, Minnesota
In 2019, I produced a self-published manuscript recounting a biographical history of the descendants of Joseph (1871-1918) and Mary (Stumpf) Selenski (1881-1956)
The Davis Family of Iowa County, Wisconsin
In 2018, I produced a self-published manuscript detailing the ancestors and descendants of Thomas Davis (1836-1922) of Iowa County, Wisconsin
Families of St. Antönien, Switzerland
Using St. Antönien's church records, which cover 1687-1875, I reconstructed the family trees of every family that lived in this village (where my Buol family lived from the early 1700s through the mid-1800s).
Buol Family
A Comprehensive History of the Buol Family: I have been researching the Buol family tree since 2001, including all known branches of Buols originating in Switzerland. My starting point was Anton von Sprecher's 1940 Stammbaum der Familie Buol, although I have corrected many errors and omissions and updated as many branches as possible with post-1940 details. Since 2017 I have also been writing more complete biographies, with full citations, transforming Sprecher's 1940 book of 19 family tree charts into a full-fledged biographical history. I am continually expanding my research, and thus this work is always in progress. In order to maintain some privacy regarding family information, I would request that any individuals interested in Buol family history email me for a link to download the family tree. My email address can be found at the home page.
Historical Buol inscriptions And Gravestones: Photographs and Transcriptions: During several visits to Switzerland, I have taken photographs of Buol grave monuments, paintings on houses or in churches, stained glass, and so on, in the towns of Davos, Parpan, and Chur. I have arranged these photographs into a file alongside transcriptions I have produced. The texts are in German and Latin. Click here for the file. (If you know of other Buol monuments in Switzerland, Italy, or Germany, that I have not included, please contact me.)
Korean War Letters: Letters that my grandfather, Andrew Buol, wrote to his older brother Peter while fighting in the Korean War can be downloaded here.
