Ambrose Genealogy

By 1770, there were a bewildering number of AMBROSE families in Frederick County, Maryland, and the adjacent areas of Virginia and Pennsylvania. By 1850, descendants of those families had migrated from Maryland to Florida and California, and settled in many states or territories between. In researching my own AMBROSE family (Henry of Berkeley Springs), I discovered totally different family lines had settled in the same vicinity at the same time, and I needed to identify them to track my own ancestors. Thus, the site has grown to encompass not only my own German Ambrose family, but several others, including English, Irish, and some whose European roots are not yet known.
