What started out as a school project quickly developed into a passion for genealogy and researching the roots of my family tree. With the help of many members of my family, along with my natural-born curiosity, I was able to gather an abundance of information to start my project which became the foundation of my family tree. In hopes of gaining more knowledge about my ancestors and relatives, I decided to finally compile my research into this website. It starts with the Mauro and Diamond families and it branches out from there.

One of my main goals with the site is to allow people to contact me with corrections to the information and of course send me any additions. Family has always been important to me and I love hearing stories and learning new things about everyone. For those that are living as well as those that have passed on, I welcome any information, anecdotes, interesting tidbits and pictures. However, for privacy reasons, I will not post any information within the site on those that are living. I recommend checking back frequently because ProjectGEN will always be a work in progress.

Navigation Instructions: To search through the family cards, click on the surname list and find the name for the family you wish to view. This will bring you to the index of names, which is listed alphabetically by last name. (If you already know the surname you wish to find, you can go straight to the index page.) Clicking on a name from the index will bring you to the family card for that person. From there, you can navigate to the person's parents and children if they are known.
