About us
What is The Purpose of This Site?
To exchange and consolidate information on KIPNIS genealogy.
This is a not-for-profit project!
Who is This Site For?
It's for anyone with the name KIPNIS, or has an ancestor
who carried this name. If you are interested in exploring the family's
history, bookmark this site! Please send an email to find out how to submit
information to this site.
Why is a Site Like This Needed?
Consider the following points:
-
Finally, a "Forest For The Trees":
To date, more than 20 distinct KIPNIS family branches (including
those with spelling variations like KIPNES, KIPNISS, KIPNEES) have
been identified. A few of these branches have been joined together
successfully, but the majority have not. By sending family tree
information to the researchers on this site, we can try to link
your tree to the known branches, and add the tree to our databases.
-
To Determine Our Point Of Origin(s):
Most KIPNIS people have common geographical points of origin, e.g.,
Zhitomir, Kiev, Kalinovka, etc. This researchers involved with this
web site will seek to gather information on this topic and make
it available to those who have an interest in it.
-
We All Seek the Same Thing:
the missing links in our family trees! We have a large database
of family tree, census and other information which can help identify
which of the known trees a KIPNIS person belongs to.
