Goals
This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.
Family notes
Please feel free to add or change anything that has been found. To help identify brick walls Please add the head of your Ager family line into the names in the locations section. For ease of separation and migration please add the first person in a new area outside of the state or county.
Task List
To find other members of the rather unique Ager line from all over the world and to research how they are all connected.
- Break a family brick wall
- Determine the origins of the Ager surname
- Link Agers from origin to United States
- Track migration patterns if possible
- determine different lines
- merge any duplicates
Current Road Blocks
- Joseph Agar
- Confirm origins; birth location
