Dreams of our Ancestors. Thoughts on family history and life in general. 8220;The Van Pletsen Saga” by Helen Lewald (nee Van Pletsen). Author Archives: Scott van Pletzen-Rands. February 8, 2016.

Rehashing Heyns →. May 9, 2015. During those breaks, I’ll often open up Ancestry.com or FamilySearch to see what might be there. No real genealogy gets done – just a quick look. Yesterday, though, was a bit different. 8221; My father’s family goes back to 1847 in Utah. (According to LDS history, my great-gre...I enter...
