Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.Ancestors
I'm interested in Frederick County, Maryland and the surrounding region, the area where my mother's family is from. On my dad's side I'm interested in the Casteels from Breckinridge and Hardin Counties, Kentucky, though given a suspected NPE they may not be genetic relatives.

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
