Biography
Born in Southern California Debbie has two grown children and a teenage grandson. She is currently retired and spends quite a bit of time researching her family ancestry and writing a book about it. In addition she enjoys contributing her own personal family trees while building and collaborating on Wiki's singular worldwide family tree.
Debbie started researching her family history over 20 years ago concentrating on her pioneer ancestors, the Crosthwaits who arrived in Philadelphia from England in 1720. The Crosthwaits later migrated to Virginia in 1733, to Kentucky in 1800, Missouri in 1830 and finally to Oklahoma in 1890. She is currently writing a book on her ancestors historical journey across America's heartland.
This year after watching the Scottish Highlander series, Outlander, Debbie was motivated to research her Scottish ancestry. She learned that her 6th great grandfather, James MacKenzie was born in 1738 in Ardesier, Inverness in the Scottish Highlands! James was just a young lad of eight years when the Battle of Culloden took place, just a short distance from his home in Ardesier.
The more everyone shares and connects their ancestors to the one World Wiki-Tree it's incredibly amazing to see how we all connect to each other in one way or another.

I am a Rowlett family researcher and was notified of your work on Prudence Rowlett Penick. There seem to be three profiles representing the same person Rowlett-56, Rowlett-58, and Rowlett-326. I have suggested a merge of 56 and 58. Once that is done, hopefully we can merge 326 into those because that one seems to have been created in error.
Are you familiar with the work by Dallas Gene Smith on the Rowlett and associated families? I have a copy of the book, but it is also on the Family Search website. https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/229249-redirection will take you to the title Page.
I will be visiting the area of Wissembourg and Steinseltz this Spring. My family history document says that my Fetzer ancestors are from there, and that she was from Berlenbach, "an hour's walk south of Steinseltz". But I find no "Berlenbach" anywhere nearby.
Thanks for your help with Marie Heinrich's family info, Paul Anderson
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.
Take care
