Hi ED I am descended from the Doupe's and Shier's, with some Switzer's, and all the rest of the Palatines sprinkled in there. I have a web site outlining the Doupe/Shier lines. www.geocities.com/judydrysdale Quite a bit of Genealogy and history along with pictures. I am from Samuel m. Catherine Shier and John who married Elizabeth Fitzell as the daugher of Samuel and Catherine, Rachel, married a Charles Doupe (2nd husband) who I believe was a grandson of John Doupe, brother of Samuel. I am also related to the Switzers from the 3rd generation down. Gets a bit confusing after awhile. Check out the above site, you may find it interesting. Judy
