A tree in
nature consists of many branches. It is the inter-twining of
those branches that makes the tree.
So too with the Toft Nielsen
Family Trees.
There are many different families
that join together, over time, to form the entire family tree
that you will find here.
Our family is a diverse mixture of
many names. The best way to show all our ancestors and their
decendants is to put each "family branch" on a separate
page. This results in some duplication of individuals and
information, but for purposes of continuity, it is the most
desireable way to display our complex family tree. This also
ensures that all family surnames, family members and in-laws are
included in the data.
TOFT : Scandinavian: habitational name from any of several farmsteads or place names derived from Old Norse topt ‘curtilage’, ‘site’, ‘homestead’
