Hi Gina!
Have you begun a tree, here on Ancestry.com? It would be wise to do so, as there's much info out there on the Schooleys, including entire books written on the family.
Have you been able to view my family tree here on Ancestry? Even though there's alot I still have to work on, it may give you a few hints as to where you fit in.
I checked a few trees here and they showed the following:
Samuel Schooley, born 1809 had a son, also named Samuel Schooley. This SON was born in 1847 in Briar Creek, PA. He had a wife, Ada Lucinda West, and one of their children was named Frank Sterling Schooley. It shows Frank being born in 1880, Wyoming County.
The Guenther Family Tree, the Swire Family Tree, and the Schooley Family tree all reflect this info. It's easy to get confused, as there were many Samuels in the early Schooley line.
It got even more complicated as I dug a little deeper and discovered that Frank Sterling Schooley (your G-G-Grandfather) had a son named Frank ERWIN born in 1914.
It looks like you will have to begin a tree to see where you fit. You don't need anything except pencil and paper. You can begin with just your mother and father's names, and their parent's names---you don't have to go back very far---but all the beginning info you collect must be accurate. After that, it's just a matter of research, paying close attention to details of dates, middle names, etc. Have a good one! Let me know how that goes, and if there's anything I can do to help you get started!
PS...if you do fit into the Traver/Schooley line, in a roundabout way, your lineage goes back to the Mayflower, were you aware?
