With almost 18,000 people in our current family tree, there are two ways to search through this website:
1. Click "Descendants" and trace the tree from Johann Steigerwalt's children. This setup is similar to the family's previously published history books, but may be hard to follow unless you are familiar with your family's ancestry over the past 250 years.
2. Click "Surname list" and find your last name. Follow the links until you find your particular family's history. Please note that women are listed by their maiden name. Be patient, as the page could take several minutes to load on a phone modem.
