I've been working on my family stuff for about 10 years, and finally, I am at a brick wall and crossroads. Here is what I have to offer, everyone, in return for your help. ALL of my information is from family Bible records, marriage certificates, census records, and other family documents. I will start with me and work back with the males only!

If any of this shakes on anyone's "trees", please let me know. No one ever bothered to tell me what an incredible addition and disease this ancestry stuff was...or, I would never have gone down this path of sheer insanity! Thank you in advance for any help. Maybe this will help someone else, too! And yes, I have all of the information; spouses, marriages, kids, etc. for all of the above mentioned folks! Give me a holler anytime!
