My name is Elisabeth Nieuwhof. I have been researching our  family history for 
a while now and for a long time I wanted to  put all my research on a website. 
So here it is. 
I regret that I did not have an interest in genealogy earlier in my  life. 
About 25 years ago when we were married all 4 of my  grandparents and 2 of my 
husband?s grandparents were still  alive. So were all of our parents. Within 
only a few years all the  grandparents are gone, and so are 3 of our parents. 
Now in our  mid-forties, we are the oldest generation. 
I am sorry for all the  opportunities that we missed to find out, and record 
all the  stories of how life used to be; what their lives were like; what  was 
important to them and so many more questions I would want  to ask them. So a 
few years back I started working on our genealogy. Since  then I have spent 
many and many hours researching my family  tree, and that of my husband.(It 
can be rather addicting) It is astounding how much information is available on 
the  Internet. 
I want to encourage those that are interested in researching their  family 
heritage and ancestors and pass all that knowledge on to the  next generation, 
to start now, before it is too late. 
I hope you enjoy your stay, and return frequently, because I am  constantly 
adding more information and names.
