I am currently researching the ancestors and related families of: Johann August Rudolf GRONAU (b. 1839) & Wilhelmine Karolina SKIBBE (b. 1840) of Stolp, Pomerania, Prussia & Madison County, Nebraska, John Friederich A. KOHL (b. 1835) & Wilhelmine BLANK (b. 1834) of Pomerania, Prussia, Columbia County, Wisconsin & Madison County, Nebraska, William POLLARD (1803) & Rachael HOLDAWAY (1805) of Wilkes County, North Carolina, Giuseppe PARLATO (b. 1796) & Vincenza LO BUE (b. 1803) of Valledolmo, Palermo, Sicily, Frederick William "Michael" BURKE (b. 1871) of New York State (whose family originated in Co. Kildare, Ireland), Matilda SMILEY (b. 1843) & John W. PROCTOR (b. 1842) of Co. Galway, Ireland and New York State, Abiather POWELL (b. 1831) (whose family was from Wales), Barthold FALLER (b. 1828) emigrated from Baden, Germany).
Listed below are photographs and reports of my ancestors from both sides of my family. Please feel free to browse my data and contact me if you have any questions or contributions. However, I have removed the majority of living individuals from this web page in order to protect my relatives from identity theft. My true database contains about twice as many individuals. Therefore, if you see a surname in a location that you think may connect to your family, contact me. I am quite willing to share data with fellow researchers as we may have a common heritage.
