Perhaps we are so used to each other and our interlocking family trees that we do not take advantage of our individual databases. My database is full of Rockingham County families. Surnames are not helpful. Specific names are. I have endless patience looking up SPECIFIC first and surnames. I also list various births (probably illegitimate) from the census images from Rockingham County from 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880. I have the census images of 1900, 1910, 1920. (No index--probably good since I will be forced to actually look at each page.) My brick wall: Maria Ammon. My second great grandmother. Gosh, I really would like to know her ancestors. In addition to Maria Ammon, I am also a descendant of Elizabeth DINKLE who married Soloman HOFFMAN in 1796 and Elizabeth BYERLY who married Jacob HUFFMAN in 1821. I totally believe in sharing. We all benefit. I frankly find it curious that so little sharing takes place on this site. Maria Ammon. She MAY BE the daughter of Christopher Ammon. Think MAY BE.
