Welcome to an area that is very important to me, (and a fascinating hobby as well!) my Genealogy Page.
For the past year and a half, I have been exploring a number of different genealogy sites, and finding a LOT of information, and some really nice, helpful people who are more than willing to help steer someone like me in the right direction. It is in that spirit that I present this section of my Web Site. I have learned a lot from these very kind, helpful people, and in return, I would like to pass along some of what I have learned in the hopes that it will help someone else in their research. By working together, we all win!
Eventually, I hope to turn my little part of the Web into a resource that will be of use to anyone researching families that lived in southeastern Pennsylvania during the colonial era, and during our first years as an independent country. That goal is still off in the future, but step by step, I hope to get there.
I started working on my family tree a little when I was in high school, but then put it away for 25 years, until November, 1996, right after my biological Father died. Since then, with the help of a number of people, I have been able to put together a database of over 20,000 people. I still have more data to enter, but I wanted to make available what information I had now. I will add updates as I enter more data, after I have this page up and running the way I want it.
I never would have been able to build my site as well as I have without the valuable assistance of some very helpful cousins. Larry Croll alone has provided nearly three quarters of the data you see here, primarily people who are tied in with the Foose Family. I obtained much of the information of their particular lines from them, so you may wish to contact them directly for more information about their family lines. They are:
Sue Chiaverini, Clayton Researcher
Erik Conard, Conard Researcher
Larry Croll, Foose Researcher
Andy Gammill, Foulke Researcher
Cathy McHugh, Hollingsworth Researcher
Rolland Madara, Madara Researcher
Joyce Zeigler, Tuckerman Researcher
Janet Suffren, Womelsdorf Researcher
In the hopes of possibly finding some other long, lost cousins, here is the Surname List for my primary database. Here in the main index for that database. I have added a number of other people to the database and have made some corrections to the data we have here since this was last uploaded. If you see any names that you would like more information on, or if you see any errors or omissions, please e-mail me.
One area which I am aware that I have numerous errors is with the dates involving the early Quaker families, particularly the Foulke line. This happened because when I was first entering this data, I was not aware of the differences between the early calendars, particularly the dating system used by the Quakers, and our current calendar. I plan to correct these mistakes, but it will take some time to do this. I hope you are patient, and keep this in mind when you are going through my data.
This data was transformed from Gedcom format to HTML format by GED2WWW version 0.22 compiled on Apr 17 1997 at 19:45:45. GED2WWW © 1996,1997 Leslie Howard.

I have taken the data from my primary database and used it to produce the Descendants' Reports that I have on my most important direct lines through my Mother, Biological Father and my Step-Father. These reports show not only the descendants of these ancestors, but I have them linked within the reports to make it easier to follow a particular line within a family, as well as the links between those lines when people from my other lines married into a family. I now have a Descendants' Report Surname List to go along with the Descendants' Index, where I show the names of the people I have as being descendants of these ancestors.
Several of these descendants' reports are now out of date since I have added the new data, particularly the Duffield, Eastburn, Foose, Beidler and Moore reports. Once I get to an appropriate point and have more information, I will update those reports and add others, but I have a lot more data to enter first. The data in the main database is the most up to date and complete, so please check there if you see any errors. If you see any errors or omissions, please e-mail me.
The internal links within the files should all work. If you find any that do not, please let me know. Likewise, if you see any errors, or have additional information, please contact me so I can make the appropriate corrections or additions.
The descendants' reports that I have uploaded so far are:
The Descendants of Jacob Beidler,
The Descendants of Thomas Brown,
The Descendants of Richard Carver,
The Descendants of Robert Duffield ,
The Descendants of John Eastburne,
The Descendants of Edward Foulke,
The Descendants of Nicholas Foose ,
The Descendants of Jacob Huffnagle ,
The Descendants of Edward Kohansby,
The Descendants of Jonas Loux ,
The Descendants of John Mooreand
The Descendants of Thomas Tuckerman.
I will be adding other reports as as I enter more data and get them coded.
As I've been exploring the Net, I've run across quite a few sites that I've found to be quite useful. Here are some of those links.

I have now moved the remainder of my links to a separate links index.
I have set up a separate page for my Genealogy Web Rings. You can go there to check out some other related genealogy sites.
I welcome your comments, both positive and negative. I feel that honest criticism can only improve this site.

I have now changed Guestbooks, which I hope will make it easier for you to let me know what you think. Please take a moment to sign my new guestbook.
