Henkenis and Askestrand Family Trees
We're glad you found our tree. The site is being reworked because of a change in hosting companies, and we want to focus more on confirmed people and increasing the amount of information and sources for the people in our tree So you'll find some stock text and some errors - let us know if you find anything incorrect out would like to contribute anything.
