Simmons King Lawson Woodward Avinger Lindler Taylor Griffin Griffith Tumblin Malloy Smith Harrison Heaton Young Harvey Murph Green LeMaster Brown Grissum. If any of these sound familar let me know. My mom's maiden name is Taylor. Her dad was William Isaac Taylor married to Daisy Lee Hopper. My DD's husband (soon to be ex) is a LeMaster. I think they are from Ohio or Iowa. Quote Link to comment
goatherder Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Family names I am researching include: House Taylor Hopper Walther Thomas McElroy The Taylors and Hoppers are most recently from Alabama but I think there may be some NC connections. McElroy could be Alabama, Texas, and Michigan. Quote Link to comment
Vic303 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 The family names I am wanting info on are: Klamm, Stearns (both in the Kansas area) Millar, Floyd (Northern Ireland mostly) or Millar (NOT miller.) in the USA/Canada Quote Link to comment
Pigzzilla Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hey Robie, My Hubby went to school with a Roberson. He is still in touch with him. Also, carr in post #4 in this thread listed Roberson in her list of family names. If you want, send me a PM and I can give you info on DH's friend....pigzzilla Quote Link to comment
MrsClark Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Great!! I'll list some of mine now: Roberson Smith Miller Moore Bailey ? maybe Welch Ferguson Hurst Lambeth (secondary - in connection with Hursts and Lambeths) My maiden name is Miller, I dont have a lot of info but what I do know is they settled in the Louisiana/Mississippi area when they came down from through Canada from Germany, they were originally Muellers but didn't want anyone to know they were German so they changed it.

Herbwifemama Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm researching: Miley (I've got him traced back to the original immigrant from Germany, but I don't know where in Germany he came from. He settled in PA.) Poucher And VanEtten Quote Link to comment
furbabymom Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm just getting started (and I'm not sure how much farther I can go since I've pretty much tapped out Ancestry.com), but I'm researching: McMurry (Georgia) Stephens (Georgia) Mathes (Oregon) Plenart (France/Austria to Oregon) Knutson (Wisconsin) Cotant (Iowa) Brand (New York) Venne (Wisconsin) Foutain (Wisconsin or Canada) Quote Link to comment
Diegoinfla Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I have Hearn's in my line. They came from England. They entered the USA through the Mid-Atlantic states. They migrated to Georgia and Alabama. After the Civil War they migrated to Texas and Oklahoma. If you think we have a match, let me know. Big Daddy D Quote Link to comment
Canned Nerd Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi folks. Just noticed with surprise that this forum section existed. I'm now using a program called RootsMagic that I love since it connects directly with the free LDS database (familysearch.com). For years I've used free PAF but they've discontinued it recently since they can't keep up with needed software advances. I've charted my bloodline back to the 100's which is kind of exciting. I just recently determined that I'm connected to the British royalty through my father's line (Hicks, Stanclift, Treat) which got me curious about the current royal family of Prince Charles & Kate so I worked the line forward. Turns out I'm their 15th cousin (1 removed). Cool. I'm also related to Brigham Young (prophet in LDS Church) and farther back to a Witch (Mary Bliss Parsons) involved with the Salem Witch Trials. She actually defended herself and won early on. Guess that's why I exist. My grandmother also told me I had an infamous Horse Thief in the family, but I can't find out the details since a cousin stored our grandmother's genealogy records (50+ years worth) after her death and can't be bothered accessing or sharing them. What a loss of researched information. Some of the surnames in my line that I'm interested in are: Holmes Snow Budge Morgan Phelps Wichman/Vickman Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 to the Family Album. I do hope you will be able to find who you are looking for. I know it took my family years and years to find some and we are still looking for our 'Jones' 3rd Great-Grandparents. It just drops off with our 2nd great grandfather. Quote Link to comment
BigM Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 So far I'm looking into Brown Finley I figured I'd go as far as I could there before following the maternal names. So far I've been able to get to the early 1900's and found a great uncle who died on the USS Johnston during WW2. Does anyone know how I can learn how he died? Some died on the ship, some on rafts of battle injury but most of those who died were alive in the water but disappeared. Quote Link to comment
Canned Nerd Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Military deaths should be a little easier to find because of their record keeping, so you might start at http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ and go from there. Also http://www.ancestry.com is a good source of document copies sometimes even if you don't subscribe. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hi, I know it has been a very long time since anyone has posted in here, but thought if it were brought up again, someone might see it and go through and see who has what name in their lines. I'm still looking for Jones I know there are other names, but can't think right off hand. Snowmom Quote Link to comment
