We have been researching the paternal AND maternal sides of BOTH of our families.
Robert's Paternal side includes the following family surnames: Bullis, Peters, Hall & Hutton; with the areas of research including NY, PA, MN, and SD. The Bullis branch was completed by a cousin in SD, in the 1990's. The Peters/Hall/Hutton line was completed & published in June 2002 by Eunice. As of Feb 2009, I am working on combining & updating these 2 histories.
Robert's Maternal side includes the sunames of: Svartaas-Svartos-Swartos, Bjerkelien-Lie-Lee; as well as Belgum, Rudlang, & Saeter of Oppland Co, Norway; Tveito of Aal parish, Buskerud, Norway; and Johannesson of Smaaland Sweden. The areas of research for these include Norway, Sweden, WI, MN, SD, WY, MT, WA, OR & Alberta Canada. This was completed & published in Feb 2008.
Eunice's Paternal side of the family includes these surnames: Olsen-Olson, Graff (shortened from Graffsronningen), Stone, Sather, Larson, Holmdahl, Hansen, & Flatner; and includes the research areas of Norway, VT, NY, WI, MN, MT, WA, ID, & OR. This was completed to-date (from memory!) by an aunt in OR in the late 80's. Eunice researched & got additional info, and published this project in July 2006.
Eunice's Maternal family surnames include: Hammer, Rector, TerBush/TerBosch, T Bush, Bishop, Gray,& Tracey. The areas of research for these include TN, VA, NY, PA, OH, IN, & MI. This was published in Oct 2005.
There is still some on-going research: the Hammer surname has not been completed, as my grandfather, John Hammer was an orphan, born Jan 1894 in or near Bristol, TN/VA. He assumed the surname of Rector. We traveled to Bristol, TN/VA in Jun 2007, and found info about the Hammer family in Bristol; but have not documented his CONNECTION to this family, yet.
Anyone who thinks they may have info for any of these branches is encouraged to contact us.
