Welcome to the Biesterfeld Family Tree

Coming soon!!!

A large update is on the way! With the help of Deb McGregor and Britt Kalter I have been researching and adding more info to my Biesterfeld Tree. I have been working hard to try and have all the research done and get this tree update online by Thanksgiving. I can happily announce that my research is as complete as it is going to get at this time. I am now going to turn my focus on getting all of my updated info uploaded to this tree. I hope to beat my planned deadline and have this tree fully updated by late Tues. And what better time to add an update than Thanksgiving time when we are all giving thanks and getting together with family. Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone and Thanks again, Deb and Britt for all the help.
