Online Genealogy Trees

This is an accurate and verified source of genealogy. Only Michael E. Byczek can upload information and documents without modification by other users, including third-parties.

Michael E. Byczek has extensively contributed to the familysearch.org online genealogical platform under the username "michaelbyczek". However, the Family Search platform is community-based where only one profile is allowed per deceased individual. This model allows anonymous third-parties to delete, edit, and modify accurate information. Users are advised to carefully review information to verify and validate details, such as reviewing the timestamp activity log for usernames. Michael E. Byczek has proposed that direct descendants assume shared responsibility for monitoring accuracy of these community-based genealogical profiles.

Each deceased individual has a unique profile with an assigned identifier, such as those for Michael E. Byczek's four grandparents:

Michael S. Byczek (GRRG-GMV) and Marie Flanagan (G5C8-1C2)

Roman J. Bykowski (GRG3-BXS) and Antoinette A. Murzynowicz/Marynowski (GRRG-XBB)

Grave Memorials

The online platform findagrave.com is dedicated to burial memorials with a model that is similar to Family Search. Only one memorial is allowed per deceased individual. However, the platform grants only one user with administrative control. As a result, this model is also susceptible to anonymous third-parties. Michael E. Byczek undertook extensive efforts to create dozens of memorials and regain family administration of others that were under third-party control.

His Find a Grave profile provides a link to all memorials under his administration.

Military Memorials

The fold3.com platform is dedicated to military records and allows users to create a memorial for deceased veterans. Michael E. Byczek has created memorials for his grandfather Michael S. Byczek (World War II) and great-grandfather Martin J. Flanagan (World War I).
