Genealogy

The genealogy bug bit me when I was very young--maybe nine or ten. ( FiftyYears ago!) My Great Aunt Gertrude had researched my grandmother's family with the hope that my mother would join the Daughters of American Revolution. I was captivated by the history my Aunt Gertrude told me about our ancestors having fought in the revolutionary war. Then I married and decided to research my husband's family since they all lived in the same little town in Pennsylvania, but no one was interested in giving me any information. Then my cousin, Maureen, and I decided to check out my father's family in New York City. So now, my Aunt Kathleen (Marueen's mother) and I are mopping up what research has been done on the Greene, Hock, Vieser, McCann, Moylan and other related families. None of my children appear interested. Oh well, maybe a grandchild will be. BTW Family names of interest are: Greene, Hock, Purdy, Hallock, Secor, Best, Bold, Smith, Martinez, Moylan, McCann, Rogers, Murphy. Kuhn...
