Note: I have taken over updating the work my father started after my fathers death in June of 2003. Robert J Bloom Jr.
We are researching the Blüm (Bluhm, Bloom), Klees, Hall, Ellis and Kenworthy families as well as the Holcomb(e) and Benedict famlies.
We welcome any corrections and additions as long as they connect to our family no matter how tenuous.
We welcome any pictures you might have to offer. We will scan them and get them back to you.
Dates for all living persons (if known) are privitized. We would gladly supply the dates to interested persons if the person involved gave his or her permission.
I wish to thank Veronica Sue Rathbun Anguiano, Christine Elizabeth Bluhm Whitford, Elizabeth Stuart Bluhm, Harlan Byers, Esther Bluhm Kolher, Harold Bluhm and Mary Jo DiCello Bloom for their help in establishing the Blum, Bluhm, Bloom line.
Harlan Byers and Esther Bluhm Kohler deserve and extra thanks for their generosity in sharing so many pictures and documents.
I also wish to thank David Lee Klees and his father Warren George Klees who have spent many years researching the Klees family, and supplied much of the Klees, Kleese line.
I would also like to thank Heather Schneider Swierczek and her aunt, Bethel Jacobs Schneider, who supplied most of the Schneider line.
Last but not least I would like to thank Dr. Frederick Ellis Zimmer for his help with the Ellis and Kenworthy families.
There are many more relatives who have added family stories and facts to whom I owe many thanks.
