I am researching the Shade familes of America and have over 72,000 names in my file, mostly descendants of several Shade men that came from Germany in the 1700's and settled in Pennsylvania. If you send me vitals on your earliest known Shade ancestor, I will see if I can idenify your ancestry and get back to you.
