About

I’ve been thinking about a website like this one for a few years. The aim of this website is to create a single point of contact between people sharing the gerthoffer(t) name, and to provide historical and genealogy details about our family.

Most of the geneaolgy details are based upon impressive researches made by Antoine Gerthoffert and published in a 500 pages boot more than 30 years ago.

I own for other websites a profressional-scaled hosting web server which is not used at 100% of its capabilities.  I have decided, using the remaining space, to offer hosting capabilities for members of the family, to host your emails, websites …

Why booking the most common domains ?

I have booked the most common Gerthoffer(t) domains (.net, .com, .org, .fr, .info) to avoid cyber-squatting. Creating a website like this one will attract people wanting to make money from selling familiy domains. Cyber squatters make money by buying domains and selling them back at a (much) higher cost. By buying these domains I ensure that they are protected from such threat and remain free.
