The John Kenneth Ridenour Family Tree

I am researching the Ridenour family from Germany. My father, John Kenneth Ridenour, was born in 1914 in Thurmont, Maryland. His grandfather, Washington Andrew Ridenour, was born on June 21, 1859, and died on January 26, 1921. He is buried in the Thurmont United Methodist Brethren Church.

In addition, I'm researching the Eugene Jack Phillips family from Hungary. Eugene Phillips emigrated to the United States in 1910, and was naturalized in 1916. He died in 1960 and is buried in the Rest Haven Cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland. His daughter, Eleanor Elizabeth Phillips, was my mother.

Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have.
