Basic descendent tree.
I had to re-create the Oelberg tree from collected material, personal knowledge,
online data,
census, burial info so there are
speculations and best guesses.
The tree can be added too or corrected should anyone want to copy/paste/email
info.

Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data. Often World Connect or
Ancestry trees/data was utilized as a foundation upon which to add material
gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses
and other data collected. My primary interest is generally the pioneer
history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for
several of the early generations. Family connections, locations and other
data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of
inter-related projects. My web pages are primarily personal study projects
for note keeping, but can also jump start others. I have a huge number of
projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is
rekindled. Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.'
Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form
of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.' I may have material for
research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if
appropriate.
