I live in Conroe, TX, just outside of Houston.I am married to Frederick LeRoy Hamilton b. 11 May, 1937 (m. 2 April, 1971) and we have one daugher, together, Tammy Sue b. 7 May, 1972. I became interested in my family history when my daughter was five years old and have been tracing it now for over 22 years.I have been able to trace my father's side of the family back to Guernsey, Channel Island into the early 17th century. My direct ancestors that came to the USA around 1835-37 settled in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Nicholas Renouf was b. 2 Aug. 1801, St. Martin's, Guernsey, C.I. and wife Rachel Robert was b. 26 Aug 1801, St. Andrew, Guernsey, C.I. Charles D.Renouf my gg grandfather was born to this couple 12 March, 1837 in Pittsburgh per census records. Nicholas and Rachel had several children, 4 of which were born in the Islands and the other born in Pennsylvania. We have also found Renouf's in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, California, Florida, Texas and many other states. My father and his family moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio when dad was about 2 years old and from there they moved to Gurnee, Illinois and then Waukegan, Ill. Other names that I am researching are:Jewell, Hart, Beck, Dickey, Jones, Robert, Rougier, Dye, Olinger, Hendricks, Campbell, Stone, Green, Ferguson, Courier, Stull, Barker, LeCras,Bennett, Brehaut, Marguard, Torode, LeRay, Brouard, LeTissier, Brache.
