Welcome!I am researching my ancestry and that of my husband Greg's, and hope that the information I have thus far gathered will bring me in contact with others sharing some of the same heritage.Greg was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and many of his ancestors arrived in America during it's infancy, most from Great Britain and Germany.I was born in London, England and came to America at age four, so most of my research on my side is in Great Britain and Holland.
Some surnames I am researching:
On Greg's side:McSWAIN, LUNSFORD, HELFERS, ARNOLD, DAVIS, TURPIN, CARDWELL, HISLE/BARNHISLE, SHOUSE/SCHAUSS, VINES, JONES, FARMER, HUGHES, JACKSON.
On Nicky's side:DAALHUYZEN, KAMPERS, DELL, BEDFORD, GRACE, GOWER, WHITE, FIG, CROMPTON, ROOKES, STANSFIELD, ALEXANDER, MAXWELL, EVELYN, WARREN, KIRBY, CLIFTON, WINOT, SMITH, GEORGE, WILLSON, GARRET, STOKES.
I'm happy to chat, exchange thoughts and information.Please feel free to email me at:[email protected]
