HELLO RELATIVES!
I RECENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE GASTWIRTH WEBSITE FROM MY FATHER (MARC GASWIRTH), AND AM VERY EXCITED TO HEAR OF ALL OUR NEW RELATIVES. I FIT INTO THE TREE THROUGH BEN GASWIRTH (MY GRANDFATHER), AND AM THE DAUGHTER OF RUTH & MARC. ALAN, MITCHELL AND MINDY GASWIRTH ARE MY FIRST COUSINS.
I AM 23 AND A GRADUATE STUDENT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES AT RUTGERS UNIVERSITY IN PISCATAWAY, NJ. I'LL BE FINISHING MY MASTER'S DEGREE THIS SPRING, AND MOVING TO ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY IN THE FALL TO START A DOCTORAL PROGRAM. MY SISTER, DEBRA (AGE 18) IS A FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE.
BEST OF LUCK WITH THE WEBSITE.

I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO LEARN ABOUT MY EXTENDED FAMILY. I RECENTLY MET COUSINS WHO I EITHER HADN'T SEEN IN YEARS OR DIDN'T KNOW I HAD. THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE FAMILY WEB SITE. I AM AN ATTORNEY IN NEW JERSEY AND HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, SHARI AND LORI. LORI GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL IN JUNE AND IS WORKING IN NEW YORK. SHARI PRODUCES DOCUMENTARIES AND IS ALSO WORKING IN NEW YORK. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF SOL GASWIRTH, WHO IS DECEASED. HE WAS JOSEPH'S SON AND THE BROTHER OF AARON, WALTER, BEN, AND ROSE. I COULD HELP YOU FILL IN SOME OF THE BLANKS ON THE FAMILY TREE. THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL EFFORT. I AM ANXIOUS TO MEET MY NEWLY DISCOVERED RELATIVES, AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM MANY OF YOU.
