"IMPORTANT NOTICE"
            I have noticed, in many family tree sites that come my way, some researchers have not add my original or my Sources' from my family tree or other places where they research.
            ""PLEASE NOTE: FOR THE COURTESY OF THE ORIGINAL RESEARCHERS"".
  "ALL INFORMATION OR PHOTOS COPIED FROM THIS SITE, PLEASE ADD ALL THE ORIGINAL SOURCES"
                              Including my website 
             "The Braithwaite - Fritsch - Pietsch - Snaith Families".
         I am very happy to share what ever I have that may be of interest to other researchers.
 It has come to my surprise that I have noticed family information and photos going into other 
website's without adding my sources, I know some information and Photos only I and some very close family 
members know//knew about. Thank you all for your co-operation on this matter.

    Hi and welcome to my website. My name is Robert (Bob) Braithwaite, I live in Monto Western Queensland, Australia, with my wife Valerie, I have been researching  the Braithwaite and Snaith families since my father, Frank Braithwaite died in 1994 and my mother, Gladys Ruth Braithwaite (nee Peach) died the same year, realizing that  I know very little about their families in England and Germany.
    I know most of the families here in Australia.
    I am now researching my mother's family, Fritsch, and Peitsch families, who came out to Australia in the 1800's from Germany.
    As I research, I find more and more families are coming into the family tree, so  there could be someone here that you are looking for too!
    I am always happy to hear from people who can add to my tree.

   'NEW ADDITIONS: Will be added as I get new information. I try to verify all my information but, that can be difficult sometimes, due to  expense and time etc.
   Most of my records in the database are my blood relations, while some are related by marriage or we have cousins in common.

   'NO LIVING PEOPLE: Although my personal data contains details of both the living and deceased people, in the interest of privacy, the records on this site are restricted  to those of deceased people only.
     If there is a living relation who you may think is of interest, please contact me  for further information.

    SURNAMES:
    Many surnames have spelling variations. 
   Tracking back through historical records will often provide evidence of name evolution.
    Names were frequently changed with the arrival in Australia to make them easier to spell or pronounce. Many German names were anglicized.
   Typically the names adopted in this database is that recorded in the birth or christening records. However, exceptions to this rule have been made when it is clear that errors have been made, in a few cases, simply so as to 
   keep families together in  the index.
 In this case the name from the birth/christening will sometimes be shown in the  birth/christening information.
   Where a place, town or City is shown as a place of birth or death, may in fact be the  place where the birth or death was registered,

   Please quote the original source of data where this is indicated if publishing it in  anyway.
 You should also check these or other sources to ensure I have not made any typing  mistakes when transcribing any data. 
   (I am still in the process of putting in more sources)
   I can offer no guarantees as to the accuracy of the information on this site. People using the site, to help them in their researches should consider the site as a 'SOURCE', and a guide. Users should seek out the appropriate documents that  confirm the information for inclusion in their own records.

    If any researchers find I have added any wrong information I would be happy to hear  from them.

   There may be typing mistakes anywhere in this website, so if anyone spots any obvious  errors, Please let me know, as I am a novis one finger typeset.
  
   If anyone has any information, no matter how small, please contact me. I am willing  to share any information I have, including any Photos, BMD Certificates, stories,  history etc. f it is added in your record's as  an original  source
