Communication Preferences: I am interested in communicating private message with anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests. Here is my family tree.
My major project right now is solving an NPE (possibly two NPEs in a row) on my dad's side. Likely ancestors include Benjamin Critchett and Sarah Hursh, John Caldwell and Elizabeth Granfell, John Marshall and Tabitha Stringfellow, and William Allison and Missouri Stewart.

I'm interested in Frederick County, Maryland and the surrounding region, the area where my mother's family is from. I'm also interested in the Casteels from Breckinridge and Hardin Counties, Kentucky, though given said NPE they aren't genetic relatives.

Looks like I messed up the Merge a bit. There are now two Jane (Metzger) Dertzbaugh's which was not my intention. Can you fix them? Dertzbaugh-3 was the one I created many years ago. Thank you,

Hi Sharon! Thank you for the new information for my family tree. I don't know much about my father's side of the family because he was shot and killed when I was three. His name was David Bruce Porter who grew up in Thurmont, MD, mostly. I would love to learn more about his childhood so I am hoping to connect to my family in Thurmont, somehow :) All the best to you and Happy New Year! Stacey Porter
