About Me


If you have stumbled upon my blog, we may share a family history. Hopefully, you will find some interesting new information and share your connections. The reason I blog is to connect with cousins around the world, although my immediate family members may (or may not!) be interested, too.

I am in the process of "cleaning up" my database in order to get it online.

Names in my genealogy include: Schaar, Bradley, Crain, Leatherberry, Bartley, Olmsted, Leighton, Bellows, Preuss, Donovan, Hamma, Emerson, McDonough, Murray, Andrews, Talbot, Blackmer, Crump, Lankton, Catlin, Shoemaker, Odell and many more related families.

My family originates in England, Germany and Ireland. Many settled in the midwest via New York, Massachusettes, Connecticut and Vermont.

Thanks for reading!

I would visit this site just to read the history and look at the pictures even if his wife wasn't my cousin from the Bradley line.
