Dennis Alve - one of the 2nd Generation who have gone to their rest since the Reunion On the other hand, fifth and sixth (and possibly seventh) generation descendants are emerging. This month Lucy Elizabeth Alve was born to Jonathan and Jennifer Alve of Tawa, Wellington. Lucy belongs to the fifth generation. Keeping up with all descendants of Carl and Maria is now very difficult.
Jonathan and Lucy Alve b. 18 Sep 2014 Peter Alve (3rd generation) is our unofficial recorder of births, deaths and marriages. His prodigious memory for dates serves the family well. Peter is being consulted currently for information for inclusion in Terry Alve's Family Tree Maker computer software. However, even Peter has not got contact with all descendant families.
During the past two years, www.alve.nz has been established and its combination of public and protected pages is a key medium for ongoing family history research and genealogical recording. The Ancestry MyHeritage, Family Searchg and other genealogical programmes are also being consulted to fill gaps in the historical and genealogical record. An eList has been established using the MailChimp software and currently this list numbers around 30. Mailings to this eList are proceeding.
