I just started researching my family. My great grandparents are George & Claire Elizabeth Ditch. They had 14 children and lived in French Village near St. Genevieve (sp?), Missouri. 2 of their children were Jerry F. Ditch (my grandfather) and Fred Ditch (my uncle)...don't know all 14 names. Claire's maiden name was Rosegrant. Didn't know if this might be the same line or any relation.

Jerry Ditch married Vera Elizabeth Duncan and had 7 children...Marie, Gene, Betty, Earl, Vernon, Jesse, & Vera (my mother)

Fred Ditch married Loretta Duncan
Would love to hear from you if you know more.
Thanks,
Emily
