Welcome to my Family History Page.While my main focus has been on the Tennant line, other surnames I am researching include Miner(Minor), Smith, Gorby, Pittman, Wright, Fiber, Haught, Roush, Truax and Zickefoose. Keep in mind while you review the reports that all the information has not been verified.If you find any mistakes, would like to share data, or simply have questions concerning my sources please contact me. Geographical locations on my site usually refer to their modern location.For instance, a number of my ancestors were born in what was then Virginia, but are listed as being born in West Virginia, the modern location.
