If you're on the SHERMAN surname list also, you may receive this twice. Hi - First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Deborah Johnson, I prefer just Deb. About 25 years ago, my step father began tracing our roots, unfortunately, he passed 10 years ago, and I'm now attempting to finish (as best as I can anyway) what he started, primarily for my half-brother and his mother and brothers. On a recent trip back home to New Jersey, USA (I live in California now), I brought back with me all of his notes. Please take a look at the brief (husbands and wives, w/ some dates) lineage I'm posting, this is my step father's direct line to the best of my knowledge. If you have any connection, or can help me fill in some of the blanks, or point me to some awesome links, I'd love to hear from you. I've been doing this now for about two years, but have been concentrating mainly on my maternal line and blood paternal line, so, I'm not completely green when it comes to genealogy.
