I have been doing my family research for 2 years now. The families that I am researching are as follows : Geyer, Webster, Patterson, Griffith, Longwell, Wagamon, Wenell, Fry, Hammer. They hail from everywhere in the US, but their Heritage
comes from : Germany, England, Scotland. I am doing this to preserve my family history for my children, and their children and so on. I also search for any family members that have either served in the military, and/or faught in wars, from the American Revolution, to today. My roots are from Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Mass, New York, Indiana, And possibly Kentucky. I am a descendent of John and Priscilla Alden , of the Mayflower,( from my Webster side).I am married, and have 4 children, and my wife is from Mississippi, and she (we) are doing her family genealogy as well. Her roots are from Ireland, England,possibly France, as well as the US : Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and possibly North/South Carolina.Her family names are as follows : Mullins/Mullens, Nelms, Bass, Gates, Emerson, Williamson, Borrillas.
