About the BZ Family Portal

Welcome to the online home of the Blachman-Zverow family — a private space for staying connected, sharing news, and exploring where we all come from.

Where this started

Our family’s story has been carefully documented for generations. In 2006, Jeanni Tavlin compiled The B-Z Family Almanac-Tree, Volume 2 — a detailed record spanning more than eight generations, rooted at Joseph Blachman, born in 1792. That research forms the backbone of the family tree you’ll find here, now containing branches that span the globe.

What you’ll find here

• Family Tree — search and browse the full genealogical record, built from decades of research
• Member Directory — find and reconnect with relatives who’ve opted in to share their contact info
• Family News & Events — updates, milestones, and gatherings across the family
• Your own profile — link your account to your place in the family tree

The Family Tree and the rest of the portal are reserved for registered family members. If you’re part of the Blachman-Zverow family and would like access, request an account here to get started.
