Family Tree - News

Welcome to the Kurth Family Tree - this is an attempt to document, in words and pictures, as many members as possible of my own family. At present this consists of four main family lines: The Kurth (or Kuert) family originating in Switzerland, the Herden family from Germany (Silesia - now in Poland), the Klar family, also from Germany (Sudetenland), and the Causer family from Staffordshire. These family trees are by no means complete, present members may be missing, and some lines have not yet been traced very far back in time. I am always looking for new relatives to add to these pages, so if you have any new information, corrections, or pictures, please contact me.
I would like to thank all the members of my family who have helped with information for these pages, especially Paul Herden of Warendorf, and Karl Michael Viering of Bremen, Germany, for their exhaustive researches into the Herden Family; Norman Causer for supplying his brother-in-law Brian Jackson's researches into the Causer Family - and John Causer for expanding on this; Andrew Lade for his work on the Lade Family Tree (which is now linked to this site), and Margrith & Hans Kurth-Meyer for their help with the Rütschelen Burger Rodel.
