Welcome to My Family Tree Maker Home Page. I enjoy meeting new cousins. If you fine you are related, please contact me.

Problems with Family Tree Maker 2008 have made me un-able to up date the Family Tree report. So please e-mail me for info on any of my lines. new surnames that may not be listed are; Humphries, Ashby, Younger, Winfrey, Buster.

If you click on the report below (NOT UP TO DATE) you will see a list of surnames in my data. For more info on any of the surnames listed contact me and I will be happy to share what I have.
My lines mostly have Italian, Irish, French and English roots.

Italian- My Mom's Line are from the Rivara and San Ponso in the Torino area of Northern Italy. My Dad's are from Grimaldi, Cosenza, Calabria, in southern Italy.
**** I now believe my Rymondo Line is spelled RAIMONDO. The first spelling came from my grandmother but all records seem to be in the second.

Irish- A big part of my surnames relate back to The early days of Greene Co, PA. They came from Ireland to Greene Co stayed for a time and left there for many parts, Appanooose Co, Iowa, Bracken Co, KY, Jefferson Co, IN to name a few. A few of the lines may also have been in Maryland before PA.

French- My great grandfather Joseph Houchard was born in France. He came here as a young man to live in Iowa about 1890 give or take a few years and later move to IL.

English- My dad's Thomas family is said to have come form England in about 1740 and settled first in North Carolina later going to Virginia, KY, and by 1836 ending in Carrol Co, MO.

If you fine a error please let me know what it is along with your source.

I am also doing a family tree on my husbands family. His tree is not in the report but some of his lines are, Westwood, Caudry, Ammons, Weller, Hamilton, Pigg, Davis, Higbee, Woolroof, Gaither, Brooks and Ryan
At this time I am working on Ryan and Ammons that went from Greene Co, PA to LaSalle CO, IL
