Notes:
Notes on several Westfall genealogy sites:
- Walter Westfall's "Westfall Genealogy" site at http://westfall55.com contains an amazing amount of information about the immigration, life, and descendants of Jurian Westphal, plus a good deal of history about New Netherlands, Ulster County, and the city of Kingston.
Information about Jurian Westfall's origins, immigration, and life are at http://westfall55.com/c.html
His descendancy starts at http://westfall55.com/relfam8.html
Unfortunately, the descendancy is undocumented, each page on the site is awkwardly long, the text all all bold and centered, I haven't really figure out the structure of the site or the flow of the descendancy. So it is quite hard to read, but it's quite a treasure-trove of information.
- Don Norman's "Descendants of Jurian Westfall" page at https://hackerscreek.com/norman/WESTFALL/JURIAN.htm is also extensive but problematic. It includes 1163 people (born as late as the 1990's), and would take 73 pages to print. It was updated in 2016, but does not link to any profiles, stories, or sources, There are no citations within the descendancy, and just a list of 40 sources (several of which are censuses and other family trees) at the end.
- Ronald Nevin Wall's "Westfall Family Tree" page at http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~whitsettwall/genealogy/Westfall_Family_Tree.htm would take about 91 pages to print. It is easy on the eye and quite navigable, with a fair number of embedded stories. It doesn't contain profiles or citations, and links to a list of about 40 sources.
- Ron and Sue Wall's "Westfall Family Page" at http://whitsettandwall.com/Westfall/Westfall_homepage.htm
is a landing page with numerous Westfall links, including some pretty good history and 49-printed-page descendancy that focuses on the Westfalls of West Virginia.
