This family tree depicts the joining of the Howard family and the Fund family in the marriage of  Enid Marie Howard and Arnold Fred Fund on February 21, 1948. It traces their ancestors back as far  as possible and then traces those ancestors’ descendants forward as far as possible. All people  related by blood or adoption to the Howard side of the tree are color coded blue. Those related by  blood or adoption to the Fund side of the tree are color coded red.

Please help make this family tree as accurate and complete as possible by sending corrections  and additions to the webmaster. Please include as much as possible of the following information  about each person: full legal name (maiden name for women); date and place of birth; date and  place of death; date and place of current and previous marriages; full name of each spouse (maiden  name for women); date of divorce; full name of father and mother; names of children from each  marriage.

PHOTOS

Photos on this site have been taken by the webmaster, submitted by family members, or copied from  Facebook. Please submit more of your favorite photos of you and your family from throughout the  years. A recent head-and-shoulders photo if each individual is requested as the first photo that  is seen when you click on a name. Additional photos, including group shots, can also be posted. It  is especially nice to have photos of special events such as graduations, weddings, etc. and group  shots of couples and whole families (including extended families). If you are unable to digitize  photos, the webmaster can do that if you mail prints.
  
 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES

Historical information is included about each person when available. You can submit historical  information in any form and the webmaster will edit it as necessary to construct a biography.  Think of what future generations would like to know about you and your family when the present  generations are gone. It can be record here so it can be preserved and passed on. Information can  be updated as often as necessary, so keep adding to the history of living people as years go by.

Because each person’s history overlaps with the history of other people, there is a lot of  duplication in stories on this site. Common histories are told from the perspective of each person  named in a story. The story is the same but the point of reference is different. Editing stories  to reflect many different perspectives is a very cumbersome task and it is easy to make mistakes.  Here, again, please let the webmaster know if you spot any inconsistencies, contradictions, or  other errors.

WEBMASTER

As one of the children of Enid Marie Howard and Arnold Fred Fund, I am related to the families on  both sides of this tree. This family tree is about more than just genealogy. It is about human  history and human migration.

It fascinates me to see the factors that cause some people live their whole lives and die in the  same place as their birth while others cross physical and political boundaries to settle in other  places. With each new generation, people of the same blood line spread farther apart, meet people  of other blood lines, and form new families all over the world. This family tree graphically  depicts that story.

The tree also shows the wide range of life experiences. There are small families and large  families. There are short lives and long lives. There joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies. By  recording historical information on this site I like to put myself in the place of each individual  and imagine what life must have been like for them and how the world must have seemed to them.

A family tree is never complete because new family events (marriages, births, and deaths) keep  occurring. This is an ongoing project. When I become too old to continue with it I hope there will  be someone in a later generation who will be interested in taking it over and continuing with it.  I wish more of my ancestors had recorded family information before their memories and lives were  gone. Maybe what I am recording today will be valuable to someone after my memory and life are  gone.
