<strong>Family</strong> <strong>History</strong><br />
First Edition 2007<br />
by <strong>Amy</strong> Berga<br />
This is a book in progress. If I waited until it was complete, it would never be printed. Please make any corrections to<br />
my errors <strong>and</strong> omissions. Facts have been collected from many different sources <strong>and</strong> can be wrong, so please check them<br />
carefully. I am interested in any stories or photos you may have on any of the listed family members. My goal is to<br />
compile a complete family picture of these individuals, not just names <strong>and</strong> dates. Thank you everyone who contributed<br />
to our family history.<br />
