This page consists of up to 50 profiles of people in this database. Each profile can contain information about that person's parents, spouses, and children, if we know about them, with links to the profiles of those people. And for deceased family members, we have posted whatever we know about their births, marriages, and deaths, along with notes and sometimes their occupations.
For best results, we suggest you start with a known family member, and either use your browser's find tool to find the person you are looking for, or look for their name in our name index. Once you find them, click on their name, and that will take you to that person's profile. Then, as you read that person's profile, you can click on the names of their parents, spouses and children to obtain more information about these immediate relatives by visiting their profiles.
Note that the people on this page are not listed in any logical order, and the fact that any two people are on this page or that their profiles are next to each other only means that their database ID numbers happen to be close, but that has nothing to do with how closely related they are to each other. Sometimes immediate relatives will happen to be next to each other on these pages, but that is not something that can be counted on. For the best results, please follow the instructions provided above for browsing the tree.

Please note that we have done our best to not include the names of living family members in this tree, in order to protect their privacy. If you have questions, find any errors, have information to add, find any information which should be privatized, or just want to say hello, please do contact us .
This family tree is an updated replacement for the Vishnick branch of our Feldberg Family Tree at Rootsweb, which was at http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=feldberg, and has now been moved to http://blumstein.tribalpages.com.
Although the tribalpages version of our tree does not have as many people as our updated tree here, it has all the people who were in the original Rootsweb Worldconnect tree, has many graphical views and features, and includes sources as well as ahnentafel, pedigree and descendant reports for those people who were in the original tree.
The URL for that older but feature-rich version of our tree is http://blumstein.tribalpages.com.
