Gail, If you thought your question was stupid then mine should top it.? What did you mean when you said "it would be really neat to join First Families"?? I've been doing research for about 10 years now and happened to stumble onto the HUFFMAN of Little Fork through my SETTLE connection.? Now I find that I have quite a few of the Germanna folks in my tree because they all married each other.? I have SPIELMAN, HUFFMAN, BUTTON, FISHBACK, CRIM, HOLTZCLAW, KEMPER, and probably ones I haven't found yet.? It's very exciting.

It was probably a stupid question. Most of the folks on this list seem to know tons of info about their Germanna ancestors. I feel like such a novice. I have five on the Mayflower and tell you just about everything about all things pilgrim, Plymouth etc. but, well, my Germanna knowledge is really sad. I live in Loudoun Co. which borders Fauquier and I hang around that county now and then so it would be really neat to join First Families. Unfortunately mine are second colony and I have never seen a reference for that area. Gail Wilhoite, Broyles, etc. In a message dated 6/11/2008 11:50:39 P.M.

And, remember, that Herman Otterbach along with his wife, Elizabeth Heimbach, emigrated to VA with the rest of the group, but died prior to the move to Fauquier Co. BUT, their daughters married many of the First Colony men, so they were there, too! Barb Price **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.
