The Manzella/Edwards-Bolmer-Gooden-Hawker Family Tree

Hello and Welcome Edwards/Manzella-Bolmer-Hawker and Gooden Relatives!  My name is Beth Hawker and my husband, Mitch, and I started this website hoping to gather as much information as possible about our extended family. We started with looking for the many extended family members descending from the Italian Manzella family who immigrated from Italy around the turn of the century. Then we got going on each of our "lines". I have changed the name a few times from the Hawker (my married last name), to the Edwards (my Dad's last name/my maiden name) and recently to the Manzella Family Tree. I intended to stick with Manzella as my original intention was to gather information on that lineage. It hasn't really been done before--at least not anywhere centrally.  However, we have decided to make one grand project out of this. Based on the limits of the "free" trees, and the advantages of the paid trees, my husband Mitch and I have merged our two family sites into one. Thus the new name: Edwards/Manzella-Bolmer-Gooden-Hawker.This system should  allow all of our family members to enter information about the people they know best-themselves and their immediate family. We all live so far apart; hopefully this will bring us closer together, at least in spirit. For those of you new to the site, or those attempting to add info, please notice that if you zoom in closer to any one person, more info/options "pop up'. That was a bit confusing to me at first. And--remember to click on the little leaves to open up any section you want to see. If you have any comments, ideas or feedback about this site, please click here to contact me. This site was created using MyHeritage.com; right now we are paid for five years of hosting--ending in 2016. The printing options are pretty cool also--you can print your line individually or as part of the whole tree.   Enjoy!
