I have been working on my genealogy since 1976 when my parents turned it over to me after 20 years of their own labors. Many of my ancestors were still alive when my parents started and much of the information came from first hand sources. I have been privileged to know many of them well, and one to the 5th generation.

My direct line families that I am working on are: Adams, Bailey, Baldwin, Ballard, Barker, Bassett, Beach, Bennett,Blundell, Carman, Clark, Cleaver, Clemson, Cochran, Crawford, Cresap, Curry/Currey, Davis, Dean, Ferris, Fisher, Gilbert, Grubb, Jowers, Knight, Lenig, Long, Llewellen, Mansfield, McClellan, Miller, Moore, Noland, Ogle, Ott, Ortt, Rahn/Rawn, Rea, Reed, Reichanbach, Rivers, Schantz, Stahlnecker, Shivery, Suiter/Suiters, Way, Williams, Wylie.

All of the memrorials here are relatives of mine with only a few exceptions for some in-laws, whose information was discovered in my searches and a few friends.

I have been gathering information for so long (since 1976) that I wanted a place to put the genealogy out where other family members might find it, rather than keeping it all to myself. Find a Grave is one of the places that works well for that purpose. If there are any nearer relatives to any of the people I have in my virtual cemeteries, I will be glad to consider transfers of those memorials to them, except for my direct ancestors.

I have lots of information that I would love to share also.

_______________________________________________

I want to apologize to the people who have sent information and requests and did not get them answered. I have not been able to spend much time on FAG for the last year or two because my wife has been in and out of Hospice Home Health Care. They have taught me most of the things I need to do to take care of her. She has several different problems including dementia. I will try to take care of the most urgent requests whenever I get the chance. It will be a hit and miss thing though and I ask that you be patient with me on this. I do not plan on leaving FAG but I hope that I will be able to pay a little more attention to it whenever time permits. Thank you all for your help and consideration.
