I am currently researching various branches of my family which include the Bannisters, Caldwells, O'Dells, Rodgers, Hembree, Riggs, etc.

I have recently completed a line of O'Dell kin back to the late 17th Century in MD. The maternal line on that branch I have had the good fortune to link up via Internet with the Howards of England, noteably the Duke of Norfolk, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Howard both Queens of England via Henry VIII and both, unfortunately without heads after their marriage woes.
