Welcome to my homepage.

This site dedicated to the genealogy of Bruce T. & Carol A. (Royael) Nicholas.

I created this site to share our family genealogy with others doing genealogy research.

I hope this site is of use to some of you.

Good luck digging up your relatives.

Genealogy is my hobby and this page will eventually contain all our known ancestors and all of their many descendents that I can find.

My four basic lines are NICHOLAS, THOMAS, RICHMOND, PAULES/PAULUS and my wife's lines are ROYAEL, DINGER, FAUTH, HOFFMAN.

The NICHOLAS family has been traced to about 1780 in Northumberland Co., PA.
The THOMAS family has been traced from York Co., PA. to 1727 in Germany.
The RICHMOND family ties into 4 Mayflower families and has been traced back to the battle of Hastings in 1066. However, the family has only been proven back to about 1600, the remaining ancestry is unproven.
The PAULES/PAULUS family has been traced from York Co., PA. to about 1600 in Essenheim, Germany.

The ROYAEL family has been traced to about 1780 in NY.
The DINGER family has been traced from NYC to about 1840 in Germany.
The FAUTH family has been traced from NYC to about 1850 in Germany.
The HOFFMAN family has been traced from NYC to about 1850 in Germany.

Our database contains almost 30,000 individuals and is continuing to grow. This site does not presently contain all the individuals in our database and probably will never contain them all.

This is a work in progress.

Please notify me if you have addditional information on any of these individuals or if you find any errors in this file.
