OrzellWorld is looking to add to the Photo Gallery. If you are willing to share old family photos please contact me.

Yahoo sent out a notification that it will be shutting down GeoCities on October 26, 2009. So I'm guessing they will be shutting down my original Orzell Genealogy site. So if you have any linking going to that site please switch them to go come to OrzellWorld.

Just added Family Forums to the site. I've been neglecting this site for a while now, but 'm back and will be improving and expanding the information available here.

A new page "Genealogy" has been added to the site. You are required to create a login account in order to access the data. The reason for this is to protect the data I have collected through my research. I will not sell, share, or compromise you information in any way.

The information for people still living will be hidden even if you are logged in, again to protect their indentity.

I have been searching Ancestry.com for my Radaskiewicz family and have not really found to much. What I did find was to other areas of interest.

First being Herkimer, New York. It seems as though Alexander Radaskiewicz setteled in that region.  So far I have only found three, Alexander, Glady, and John.

Second area is New Jersey, I found Felix Joseph and Alexander. 

As of now I do not have any documentation connecting these families. As a matter of fact I don't even know if they are related. But my hunch is they are related, given the small number of people I found in the Ancestry search.

Anyone with knowledge of the families please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Thanks
