Bernstein Pioneers
Descendants of Julius (Judah) Bernstein 1789-1868
by trudy chiswell


Bernstein Pioneers traces the history of the descendants of Julius Bernstein (1789–1868). With references to the Civil War, both World Wars, and the early history of the United States and Canada, it is an offering that is both personal and historical. Author trudy chiswell has traced her family lineage and written an engaging, meaningful record for her relatives and descendants. Filled with eyewitness accounts, primary documents, photos, and ancestry charts, it’s a book in which readers will learn about the struggles faced in early settlements, the tragedies brought by conflict, and the unique characteristics of many individuals in the family tree. Although written for the author’s family, this thought-provoking, educational, and heart-warming account of one family’s journey through life over the generations will engage readers at various levels of connection to the Bernstein family.

Author trudy chiswell has spent over fifty years in ancestry research. She is the great-great-great-granddaughter of the first Bernstein mentioned in the book, Julius. Growing up with a curiosity about her treasured Grannie, she asked and documented many details about her grandmother’s past as a young woman. Later trudy found Ancesty.ca and many on-line research tools that launched her into discovering more about past generations. Creating this book has allowed trudy to meet many new and interesting cousins on the journey. Now, she is passionate about passing on the history of the past to family and future generations. When she’s not writing, engaged in water colour painting or photography she’s enjoying her retirement in the rugged nature of the West Coast of Canada. Her moto is, “Life is an adventure every day, if you choose it to be. Laugh often… Live life as an adventure… Love to the extreme… Treasure each day!”
