Note: We hope to add to this collection and include transcript of each of the histories here. If you have histories to contribute, or if you can help with transcribing or clearing copyrights, please contact me.

Special: As part of reprinting, Gary Tietjen has made the text of his book available to the website. This includes individual histories of Ernst, his wives, and all their children. I plan to add these to the web page in the coming months. Contact me if you need something earlier (see above).

  Note: Gary Tietjen has authorized a small reprinting of this book, and I have been helping with the typesetting. Write Ben Parkinson, webmaster of parkinsonfamily.org, if you would be interested in having copies. We can do a much better quality and more economical reprint if enough of the cousins respond.
