Welcome!

 

This is a slightly updated web version of the orignal book, "Frank Family Circle, A Family Chronicle, From Generation to Generation".

 

As such you will find in this website: a note from our family genealogist, a section on Crystal Lake, background on the Frank family's origin in Europe, a document from the Museum of Jewish Diaspora in Israel on Sanok, Poland and a map of the area, copies of memorabilia, our family by-laws and listing of presidents, some commentary, a section of photos and our Frank family tree. 

 

Originally working on this project in 2000 was a gratifying experience. Without the support and work of my son Jonathan, I doubt that I ever would have undertaken this task. My wife Marcia, the co-publisher, Lea Chartock, editor in chief and Danny and Tami Arbel have been mainstays. 

 

I was fortunate to know Al Baruch, the artist who did the original drawings. Marc Katz, a true professional, put all the material together and produced the original book from where this website was created. 

 

Now, in 2014 Daniella has given us a hand in making the "book" available to the whole family. Everyone can contribute to the images found here or make changes to The Family Tree with or even upload your stories to our blog with a click of the hand.
