Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore.
We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them.
We scorn nobility in name and in fact.
We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.
[Dorothy Day, 1897-1980]

Families Related by Marriage --and some who are not:

These all include Langmann clan members who lived in Germany and a number of other countries sometime during the past 1,000 years.

Are you related to one of these 101 families? If so, chances are that you can trace your ancestry back to the man named Ioannes who was born more than 1,000 years ago in Tuscany, Italy!

This is just a very small selection of our UrRoots family trees. We have more than 10,000 different trees (some large, some small) and will add more to this database as time goes on.
If you are searching for a name, any name, send us an email and we will pick it out for you from our archives.
