My mother-in-law was a McEntaffer, married a Steele. Her family came from Michigan and is probably related your people waaaay down the line.Her parents were John S. and Mary McEntaffer. I met with a lady from Massachusettes a while back who is also following this line. Right now, I'm concentrating on the line in Allen, DeKalb and Stueben Coounties in IN. Our McEntaffer in Michigan married a Gray and rumor has it the Gray line goes back to the English throne. I haven't spent much time on this line, yet but I'll get there eventually. I have information on about the last 6 generations starting with my husband. Our updated family tree is posted online with familytree.com and the McEntaffers are on there.

Hello all, I just wanted to let everyone know that I have put my family history online at http://www.allthroughtheages.com/indexfamilytree.htm Please feel free to look around it and let me know of any errors, omissions, etc. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS so when looking through it understand that. I appreciate any and all comments on it. I am but human and there will probably be mistakes so just shoot me an email and I will get to it. I want to thank everyone that has helped me get this far in my research and I have further to go yet, but without help I would not have been able to get this far. I decided to go ahead and put online what I have so far as if I keep putting it off it will never be online and then someone may not be able to utilize it. I have many many surnames and many areas of the US that are on this. You will find some links that are not up yet as I am slowly getting them together. I will be placing photos online with these pages soon so keep checking back and if there is anything that you would like to add to it please feel free to email me.
