 “Plant a Tree”

TheArbor Day Foundation encourages us to plant a tree today. Plant a new family tree or give some fertilizer to your smallest tree. What is your smallest tree? What do you hope to do to help it grow? Help a friend plant a new family tree. Keep planting and soon we will have beautiful forests.

 Be creative & use this only as a starting point. Go off in any direction you’d like.

Share. Be sure to post a comment with a link to your “Plant a Tree” post!

My “Plant a Tree”

Key: Yellow = my direct line; Brown = New information!

My smallest tree is connected to my great grandfather,

Leopold Gartner 1860 Hungry – 1948 NY.

 This little tree has just grown. I didn't have the right fertilizer to help it grow so I have reached out to a professional genealogist. Robert J Friedman from Steps to the Past and member of the association of Professional Genealogists is researching this family tree for me. Robert has already sent me birth & death records, a Hungarian Census, and other data that has helped to expand this tree. Hopefully he will help turn this acorn into a mighty oak.
