Sean, So good to hear from a new cousin! I look forward to sharing information with you regarding your PALMERTREE and DOWNS family lines. So, who are your parents? If your surname is Rotkiske, then is Linda L. Palmertree your mother? If so, I only her have married once to an (Unknown) Cummings, with no further information. If you would be willing to fill in some gaps for us on your family line, we sure would appreciate it! Hope to hear from you again soon.

I can't begin to tell you how stunned I was to see the pictures of Floyd, James and Clarence. Clarence is my Grandfather. He met my grandmother Edna Kehs Palmertree while stationed at Fort Indian Town Gap. My family still lives in Reading and Philadelphia PA. I look forward to a more detailed review of the data in this website. I will also provide you with a detailed list of my grandfathers descendants. I look forward to learning more. I am especially interested in the possible existence of photos of my great grand parents especially Emma Downs Palmertree. Regards, Sean M. Rotkiske
