Welcome
Welcome. If this is your first time visiting our family history site, you should start by clicking or tapping the Coming to Ameryka graphic below. It describes the book that's being written about the Strauss family and its descendants. But don't do it yet. Read the next few paragraphs first.
You can search through the Family Directory to see if we know about you. Since the directory has information about living family members that only other family members should have access to, you'll need to login. You can find out how by contacting Ed at ed@alcpress.com or from the Strauss Family Tree group on Facebook.
The icon of the tree with the word STRAUSS brings you to the details of the family starting from the top. Joseph and Katherine Strauss are the family's “Adam & Eve”. They're the earliest family members that we're aware of, for now. Tap the buttons on these pages to move down the tree.
You can explore the other parts of this site. Some of this will become part of the book.
You can give us feedback or submit your changes and additions by contacting Ed Sawicki or joining our Facebook group. Click Getting Help below.

This site, like other geneological sites, reveals your mother's maiden name. If you use that name as a security password, you should stop doing that. If your bank asks for your mother's maiden name as a security check when you call them, tell them to find a more secure way.
