This site is meant to be a guide to help you in your own research. If you have a correction or any information you would like to see added, please contact me.(I usually reply in 1-2 days. If you still haven't heard from me after a week, you may want to try resending the e-mail. I have heard reports of people's e-mails not coming through for some reason - even from people who e-mailed me before without problems.)
Geographical info: The Newman's, Jessee's, Brisko's (Briscoe's), and Stacy's came from England, the Bishops and Keyser's from Germany, and the Ephraim McDowell line is probably from Scotland and Ireland (at the moment, I have not posted the line that far back due to some errors I've been unable to correct). The Tacquett's came from France. After that, the following lines are based primarily in Virginia and Kentucky.
