I am a Pennsylvania native, born near Pittsburgh. Initially I became interested in genealogy by updating information my mother had on her family, Philbrick, Findley and Stockton, but now I work, mostly on Dad's family--often with some cousins.
Currently I am working on various lines relating to the Reitz line--Brosius, Wagner, Thomas, Rentschler, etc. I probably will add some names to FAG. At the moment I am obtaining information from the site--crediting contributors and notifying contributors of possible errors in spelling, dates or relationships. Only one person has complained about my questioning a spelling, which was one way on the entry and another way in the obituary. Turned out the spelling in the obituary, which I also had in my file, was incorrect--fine. I won't bother her again. I do appreciate the many emails and notes of thanks when I was able to provide some information.
I taught and still live near Athens in southeast Ohio.
