The Mastrogiacomo / Leo and McLeod / Shimer Family Tree

Welcome to my homepage! I'm working on my family line from Ginosa,Italy and have posted the Mastrogiacomo/Leo family tree here which also includes the names Gianciotta and Sabina.

I've posted descendants of Jacob Scheimer, 1st Shimer immigrant to America(abt.1720), to my page in book form with index. I've included up to my grandmother's generation,Sarah Grace Shimer.

I'm also researching my family tree from Warren County NJ and Northampton County,Pa : Ayres/Ayres, Baker,Brittian, Depue,Hess,Lewis,Schooley and VanCampen surnames, most of who settled in the Mt.Bethel-Minisink area of Pa-NJ, some of who were the original settlers to the Hunter-Martin settlement in Mt. Bethel,Pa. Please contact me if you are researching these families. Also working on my Scottish-English family line: McLeod, Gillis/Gilling, Billings (Jamaica).
