Welcome to our ongoing family history project. We have traced our lines to Italy, Poland, Germany and England and have discovered relatives, close and distant, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland and Denmark. Some lines are quite long and others have reached a dead end just a couple of generations back, but we will never stop trying. Some of the information is published on pages on this site and some has not yet been. Please click on the links below to see the progress so far and some back to visit frequently for updates. If you feel you may be related, please do not hesitate to contact us. The surnames we have researched are Gresiak, Grzesiak, Karpinski, Karpinska, Karasiewicz, Kasovich, Kaas, Tucciarone, Carano, Scarpine, Ross, Paparella, Bartholomew, Beeman, Hunt and Loar.
