I'm so sorry, I meant to write huge Ruckle family as in large family not Hugh Ruckle. I'm sorry for any confusion that might have caused. OOPS!!!!! The Wayne Biddinger I purchased my Biddinger book from a few weeks ago is very much alive. The book is as your cousin said, money well spent...and I have only read the first 200 pages. I have never seen a copy of the first book called Generations. I will have to write to Wayne Biddinger and see if he has any copies of that book and also see if there are any Ruckles listed in it. I don't know if Wayne Biddinger has a computer and an email address or not. I only have his snail mail address. The book was $35.00 which I thought was a great price. I would be glad to share family information but do not know too much about the Starks. I have just recently started to look into these families in Western Maryland. Sometimes I go to the Maryland Historical Society and could look in the files for Stark informatoin if you would give me some specific people or things to look for. You can email me directly if you like and we can discuss it. Carole
