I've always wanted a place to share my children's pictures with other loved ones, a place to share my thoughts. Well I think I've found just that place on the Internet, a place that not only I can do all of this, but do all of this for my loved ones as well. My vision is to have a website that is secure and private, a webspace that can be kept secret to the World and only seen by loved ones. This webspace should be administered by perferrably a trusted family member or real trusted freind.

Well because I know a little about the material I've decided to do it myself. In this day in age where most Webspace providers are looking to make money off of the pictures we upload or the poems, and other written content we share, a website like this couldn't come any sooner. Right now a great example of this is of course is how the largest social media platform Facebook has broken its promise to protect our private info. A simple "sorry" is just not enough for me. I don't necessarily like Facebook for this and other reasons, although they have made some good changes to the privacy settings I don't neccesarily like their privacy policy and their ties to the CIA. Oh I use Facebook and I'm kind of used to using it. I use it to show mainly family members and friends pictures and such. Facebook will always be with us and I will be using it here in this website as well. I was always afraid of posting my childrens pictures on Facebook though. I know I probably could have posted pictures of my children in Facebook and had the privacy settings set so that only relatives and family members could see them. What I didn't want to do was to give them to a corporation to use them how they wanted, and lose my soveriegn rights to those pictures.

I want my own "My Space / Facebook" type community full of nothing but relatives and real fiends!

Let's turn this Family Website into a striving community.

Our Family Genealogy

Like many American families we are very multicultural. There are constantly new members (relatives) being added to our family tree and keeping up with them is a very challanging task. I have added many decendants and ancesters to our family tree, but there are always some relatives that have been left out because I never knew them personally. This is the main reason I have found a database that allows family members to add themselves, edit, or update information on either deceased family members or those family members and relatives that cannot add themselves or update their own information. 

Loving freinds and relatives I am proad to present Our Extended Family Website (database)  at genealogy.simmons-net.de

  Family members are welcome to request full access to our Extended Family Tree. In some cases where all of the family members are  living today no information is shown unless the person viewing is a registered database user. Use the " Sign in " link below unregistered users can request a membership that has to be approved by the database administrator. (For those of you using your cellphone to view this page use the drop-down menu below and find the "Sign in " link.).

DISCLAIMER: Integrating this database into our family website might cause some problems to arise that make the viewing thereof difficult as we are dealing with one website showing another website. This could lead to problems like the viewing with smart devices, smartphone, tablet, and Co. I suggest viewing this site with a laptop or PC. Although this is only a real problem when viewing the database through our family website. Viewing the database alone on smart devices shouldn't cause a problem.
