"Each of us has an Ancestor in our tree waiting to tell a story."
Henry Lewis Gates, Finding Your Roots

I collect historic documents about my ancestors. It's a way to honor them and learn more about my family's roots. My paternal line: Berry, Clark, Hill, Vawter, Finley, Barclay? (per family tradition - have found several Barclays in autosomal DNA), Gaffney, Carter, Casebeer. Father's Maternal Line: Bartels, Weier, Omen, Hoppis, Haff , Snook, Mauck.

Mother's Paternal line: Salve Olsen,Fjelsgaard, Finsland, Vest-Agder, Norway. Mother's Maternal Line: Thisius, Nehls.

My father's YDNA (Kit#...928) places his paternal line in the "Berry Plain" line of Berry's, descending from Henry Berry I, per the Berry DNA Project. Missing are documents that show who are my 4th great grandfather Joel Berry (b 1754 KGC, VA and d. 1843 IN) parents. Can you help?

I'm also researching: Tate, Robertson, Barber, Lowe, Love and for another family member: Boone
