I have been doing genealogical research for over 40 years, and it is so much easier and quicker to get results now than it was when I started and had to rely on writing letters. I just wish I had asked more questions of my relatives than I did, since all the older ones are now gone.The families that I have concentrated on are all in Pennsylvania, although they originated from Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland, England and The Netherlands:
Kimmel, Umbenhauer, Workman, Rhody, Mack, Holmes, Blair, Hay, Dinsmore, Beck and Ashby.I have also done research on my husband's family in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia: Henry, Smith, Shue, Shockey.My public name used to be "Anonymous", but I have changed it to a much-used family name - "Christiana".Please feel free to contact me, via public message or email.I will consider all requests for transfer of memorials that are not close relatives of mine. I would be happy to have gravestone photos added to any of my memorials which do not have such a photo. If you use any of my family photos or tombstone photos, please honor Find a Grave Rules and give me credit for the photos.
