"The Foose/Vest Family Home Page"

The following surnames are branches to my tree: Foose (Fuss, Foos) of Pennsylvania (1700's - late 1800's) and Ohio(1900's), Austin of Plymouth , England (1800's), Pearse of Plymstock, England (1700's), Stiegelmeier of Germany, Rowse of Devonshire, England, and Worley of Ohio (1800's).

My wife Shirley is also researching her family lines which include: Vest's (Virginia (Early 1700's), North Carolina (early 1800's), Indiana (early to mid 1800's), and Southwest Missouri (mid 1800's to present). She's also researching the Faulkners, Hankey's, Fraker's, and Hill's, all located in Southwest Missouri.

I owe a lot to my cousin Gene Smith who contributed much of the early Foose material and encouraged me to get involved in genealogy.

We currently have over 5,000 individuals in our family tree so if any of these names match your tree feel free to contact us for more information. We will share what we have.
