This is my FTM Genealogy site with the FTM Version 8 "My Family Tree", an online tree with my core of almost 2000 people. I have over 29000 in my full file.
SURNAMES I AM WORKING ON:
Eastwood - NC (Person, Granville, Vance Counties), VA (Dinwiddie Co.); English, Cherokee (Yes we are distantly related to Clint Eastwood)
Everett & Everette - NC (Edgecombe, Pitt, Wilson Counties), VA; English
Mahnke - WY, SD, MT; German
McDonald - IA, NE, SD, MT; Irish, Scottish
Owens, Langley, Crisp - NC (Edgecombe, Pitt, Wilson Counties); English
Poe - MD, PA, OH, MI, IL, IA, NE, WY, SD; German, English, Irish, American Indian
(Poe was originally PFAU in Germany. This is may or may not be related to the Irish Poe line of Edgar Allen Poe)
Shanor - PA; French, German
I am currently concentrating on my Everett and Eastwood lines. These families seem to have moved to NC from VA around 1750, though the Eastwood line may have gone to New York first.

She married but never had children, but did much to advance the Poe genealogy. On Aug 17, 2000 -- one day after she turned 95, Lawrence Webb showed her this picture and she remembered it with smiles, "I remember" laughter, and warmth.

One of our more distinguished family members, General Poe was an 1856 graduate of West Point, Civil War veteran, and engineer. He graduated 6th in his class at West Point. During the war he served in the infantry and as an engineer. Most of his career was an engineer. A large part of his work was in the Midwest. The Poe Locks at Sault Saint Marie are named after him.
