My interests in names, language, and history converge in genealogy, which has been one of my interests for over 40 years. My published works can be found in nearly every public library in the US.

Currently I am working on reducing the works of Jesse Sell and John Jordan (all published in the early 20th Century) to data points to help others link their families as I collect information on Germans migrating to the US in the late 18th and 19th Centuries.

Feel free to accept or reject any corrections I make. While I strive for accuracy, documenting information is difficult on this site. In general, I cannot go back to provide you with documents after I've moved on to another family.

I transfer only within the parameters established by Find-a-Grave. If requesting a transfer, please include the record number and your member number. Thanks!
