    How To Read This Genealogy

This genealogy is presented in a format that is intended to take advantage of the Internet and web browsers to make it easier for the viewer to read.     A good place to start (after reading this Introduction) is to read the page on Jozef Halter (1795- ), then click on any of his children to read about them.  If there are + signs following the name of a child this indicates that there are children of that child on that child's page.   Another place to start is by clicking on "Descendant Chart of Jozef Halter (1795- )"  you will be taken to a traditional family tree descendancy chart which shows all the descendants and how they are related.   By clicking on the name of any individual on those charts you will be taken to that individuals page.   There are pop-up pedigree charts on each individual that will show you that individual's parents and grandparents.  Also be aware of little icons such as a "camera" icon that when clicked will link you to a photo of that individual.   In addition there is the traditional index and master index for finding individuals.

Biographic and vital information is shown only for deceased persons. People that are still living are not included in this genealogy.  The source of that information for each person is contained in abbreviated source footnotes with each individual.  The abbreviated source footnotes are linked to a full source citation.

    Acknowledgements

This work is the effort of a great many researchers who have generously contributed information on their branches of this family. Their specific contributions are cited in the footnotes and source citations. I am particularly indebted to my Aunt, Emily Halter Majewski, who in the 1970's compiled much basic information on the Halter family. She most graciously shared this information with me prior to her death in 1988. Her information laid the foundation for this work. For the past several years my cousin, Eleanor Smolinski Brysacz has helped this effort by inspiring me to pursue this work, compiling records on the Smolinski's and Halter's, adding valuable information obtained from her mother, Victoria, and writing recollections of most of her Halter Aunt's. Without her help and support this work would not have gotten as far as it has. If you are a descendant of this family we would be most interested in adding your branch to this genealogy. Please contact us. One of our major research efforts is aimed at identifying all our cousins and adding them to this genealogy.

Compiling a family genealogy requires the collecting and comparison of information from numerous sources over a long period of time. Every effort has been made to document all major sources of information and to make this genealogy as error free and as accurate as possible. However, due to the total amount of information and the varying quality of that information it is bound to contain errors. The compilers would be most appreciative of being informed of any errors the reader encounters.
