ABOUT USING OUR WEBSITE
This website best viewed with Internet Explorer settings
This website is comprised of the following three distinct sub-sites, one each for our separate paternal lines and the other for our common maternal ancestral lineage: Bozarth, Peiffer, Quigley, Rhubart,
and allied families McVicker, Moreland, Pinnell, Scruggs,
and allied families Dellinger, Knecht, Pfeffer, Silar and
allied families These sub-sites are made up of a collection of surname pages for each direct ancestral line. These pages contain a brief family history and links to our database for more specifics regarding every direct grandfather and grandmother in that line. In addition, each page contains information regarding the origins and variations of the particular surname. Links are also provided therein to source documents, photographs, as well as websites useful for further research on the surname.
The Ancestral Locations (Home Page) link will take you to pages that are designed to provide you with information and additional links that you will find useful for researching the countries, states, and counties in which our direct ancestors was born, married, or died. On this page you will also find a link to the table of contents of our Ancestral Location Photos & Images galleries that contain images from many counties and localities. Links to appropriate locations are also found on the web pages dedicated to each of our direct ancestral surnames. We have set
up this website on the assumption that you are researching a particular
family surname. As such we suggest
that you begin your research by using the link to our Surname Locator (General Index) webpage. The alphabetical links on that page will take you to an updated listing of all
surnames as posted at our three databases on the Rootsweb WorldConnect
Project. This page also features five
surname resource links found at Rootsweb.com. Researching our War Veterans,
has been designed to provide researchers with information we feel is a must
when looking for ancestors who were veterans of America’s wars. At this web page you will find basic
accounts and supplementary information for of each of the eleven most important
American war periods. In addition there are links to additional U. S.
Military websites of a broad nature can be found in a dedicated section near
the end of this page. There is also a
section that is linked to the U.S. Military Records Research Outline on the
Family Search website. This outline introduces
strategies and records that can help one to learn more about ancestors who
served in the United States military. Immigrant Ancestors: Research &
Resources has been designed to
assist you with the tracking of your immigrant ancestors. On this web page you will find information
on search strategies for tracing your immigrant origins. In addition there are lists of informative
websites where one can find facts on immigration and naturalization, records,
as well as ship, passenger & crew lists. Read
about our daily experiences at Our 2006 Coast-to-Coast Genealogy
Trip. During the month of April
2006 we availed ourselves of an unprecedented opportunity to take a genealogy
research trip from one end of the USA to the other and back. Over the course of our 30-day journey we
visited with friends, relatives, and gen-cousins while traveling over 8,200
miles through twenty-seven of the lower forty-eight states. Along the way we sought out countless
ancestral locations and what we refer to as “gen-sites”. By the end of our journey we had visited
six libraries, four historical societies, two museums, six county
courthouses, and many cemeteries. Our Library of Genealogy Reference
Books is
dedicated to the compilation of books that have shown to be of value in the furtherance
of research into the families names identified within the three sub-sites of
this website. The collection is
primarily derived from Google Book Search a FREE access website and
Ancestry.com a subscription site. In an
effort to maintain most of our research in an “electronic” rather than
“paper” system we have designed a wide variety of electronic forms and logs
that you may find useful. The Tools for Organizing and Evaluating
your Research link will take you to the
pages dedicated to this purpose. Websites We Like will provide you with the
links to a wide variety of websites covering topics such as, cemeteries,
census information, genealogical societies, history, libraries, military,
maps, land records, research and writing aids. We’ve also provided links to some familiar sites such as LDS
Family Search, USGenWeb, Genealogy.com, Ancestry.com, and Cyndi’s List. American Migration: Routes, Trails
& Roads has been
created in an effort to enhance the family historian’s knowledge base of the
network of trails, and routes pioneers traveled as they migrated from the
eastern coast to the interior of the American continent. We believe that this will assist in the tracing
of your own family’s paths back into American history which in turn can prove
crucial in identifying previous generations and eventually, figuring out
where and how they arrived in the New World.
All
family historians are faced with ever-growing expectations for genealogical
accuracy and reliability. As such we
believe it appropriate to add a link to the National Genealogical Society (NGS)
Standards and Guidelines. We highly recommend that
our visitors read the standards concerning the sharing of information with
others, use of technology in genealogical research, maintaining sound
research practices, and the guidelines for genealogical self-improvement and
growth.
