Hello all! My name is Duane Leamer. I am originally from Cochranton, PA in Crawford County, but am now located in Savannah, GA. One of the many names I am searching is SHRECKENGOST. My grandfather was Norman Lyle SHRECKENGOST who married Wilda Charlotte BEAN. His father was Vernal Marcellus SHRECKENGOST who married Donna Elsie COPELAND. Vernal's father was Daniel SHRECKENGOST who married Eva Mariah MILLER. My grandfather passed away in 1987. Grandma seems to remember that there may have been a C in SHRECKENGOST, but a family dispute led to Daniel taking out the C. I am not certain of this, as my grandmother has no factual info on this. I have heard that it is possible that my SHRECKENGOST ancestors came from the Armstrong County area. I would really enjoy gettin more info on this line. I would be glad to share all that I have. There seems to be a possible connection to John ALDEN, the pilgrim, through Vernal's wife's line - COPELAND. If interested please email me or the list. My research eforts are going to become much easier in June - as we are moving back to PA. Yeah!!!!!! We will live in Erie. I can't wait to do some footwork research, again. Internet resources are great, but there is nothing like doing it yourself and actually seeing places and documents and such. I have a very simple genealogy section on our family website at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/8828 Take a look at it if you'd like. I'm quite new to making sites. Please give suggestions. Thanks, Duane E. Leamer leamer@aol.com or duaneleamer@geocities.com
