REGIONS: I cover all US regions & foreign generations before immigration.

I have extensively studied countless families for 400-year spans from before immigration to America. I have followed their wide westward swaths from the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic coastline, throughout the Midwest and South, then Westward to the Pacific. I have traced many family trees in almost every state in America, since Jamestown and before the West and South were settled, to modern times. I also have strong knowledge of the history of the Deep South. I have traced families through pre-colonial America and the 13 colonies and have documented trees as far back as the 1100s (12th century). I have traced their ancestors to more than 50 foreign countries.

Famous or notable relatives recently discovered in our trees include: multiple lines to ABRAHAM LINCOLN, separate lines to GEORGE and MARTHA WASHINGTON, and a third line to George's mother, MARY BALL. We also have traced trees to THOMAS JEFFERSON, other US Presidents, Native Americans including POCAHONTAS, actors HUMPHREY BOGART to JOHN WAYNE (Marion Morrison), war nurse/Red Cross founder CLARA BARTON, poet/writer EDGAR ALLEN POE, frontiersman DANIEL BOONE, the HATFIELDS who feuded with the McCoys,1st US slave JOHN PUNCH & 1st slave to sue and win freedom ELIZABETH KEY GRINSTEAD, America's 1st feminist & female practicing attorney MARGARET BRENT, LORD(S) BALTIMORE, Gov. LEONARD CALVERT, many U.S. Founding Fathers, many Governors and US Senators, US Capitol land donor WILLIAM OFFUTT, many celebrated Civil War Yankees and Rebels, numerous Revolutionary War soldiers and heroes, men in Napoleon's Army, Irish revolutionary SEAN O'HARA, Lincoln nemesis JOHN "EX PARTE" MERRYMAN, LAURA HAWKINS (Mark Twain's "BECKY THATCHER"), DR. SAMUEL MUDD, innocent "witches" of Salem Village, several knighted SIRs, outlaws, and explorers from LOUIS JOLLIET to the crew of ANTOINE DE CADILLAC, etc. I've traced notable ships' passenger lists, including The Mayflower's - although more often, Mayflower rumors are only that!

This is a rescued (digitally restored) photo of M.H. Merryman Lumber Mill in Corbett, Md., circa 1900. Owner and architect/builder Marion Hay Merryman (1862-1938) is second from right in his crew. The National Register of Historic Places lists multiple homes he built.
