This page is dedicated to all spellings of the surname Landis.
This genealogy page was first created in 1994 when my mother (Nancy Landis) & I began our search for her birth family and our family heritage.
She was one of the many children that ended up being taken in because of the depression. It was then that she lost touch with our family.
Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer before we were given the missing pieces to her family tree. She is the reason I try to keep this site going and all the Landis information I have is and always will be freely shared.
It would be her wish to help others find there family lines as well.
