Carole, I too am a descendant of William Peters.....and suggest the following: get on rootsweb.com, fill in name of AMOS PETERS, on the next screen click on WORLD CONNECT, scroll down to bottom of that page and click on page 6, scroll down looking under the column entitled DATA BASE, click on one that says rwjustus, then click on p for peters , next screen scroll down and click on PETERS (273), then keep scrolling down until you come to William Peters b Oct 1790 Shenandoah, click on WIlliam, then click on AHNENTAFEL and you should have what you want. I hope this is explained OK.
