Bio

I have worked on my own genealogy for over 20 years and I have worked with other family researchers on the following lines. Benford, Weimer, Marker, Sanner, Ebbecka, Fisher, Barclay, Hoover, Baker, Shoaff, Harbaugh, Ferral, Low Eydt, Trautmann, Licthy, Miller, Gilbert, Chorpenning, Ling, Brant, and others.

I take internet Genealogy with a grain of salt unless I know the researcher. I have ran into a few other researchers over the years who literally take internet genealogy as the golden source and ancestry.com. These are the people who believe that everything on the internet is the truth which most of us should know better. Genealogy is like detective work using old documents, pictures, maps, books, census records, taxes records, family bibles, state archives, ship ledgers, military records and family folk lore to put a story together to where one has come from and the story continues through their own children and so forth through the marching of time.

Always do your own work and research so you will have the satisfaction of knowing where you have traveled and gathered the information that one can accumulate to create your own family tree and the branches so your family members can see their own branch that people have in common.

Good hunting and enjoy the never ending puzzle that you can put together.
