It is an intention to provide more information about each person.  But before we provide this, private information must be removed and extensive quality controls must be completed.  It will take a long time before the family tree itself contain more textual information.

To compensate for the missing information, you will find an index to historical stories concerning the family under "Family stories". The focus is particularly on our common ancestors in the 16th and 17th century.  But you will also find stories from more present times.  We hope that the number of stories will increase, and that you often will find new stories.  You are also welcome to provide text about your family, to be made available here.
