The search is on.....

This page, I'll use for updates on the family tree.
I'm working on 2 and I'm hoping my sister will let me dig under her husbands  Endhoven tree as well.

I'm NOT a gluton for punishment, but..... IT'S FUN! Her daughter had to do some research for a school project, and I found out that there is A TON of information on her dads family.... It only needs to be organized and preserved. Sadly, I'm too far away to talk to his dad about it, so I'm hoping my sister will collect, and pass it on :-)
       Update: I will not be digging under the Endhoven tree after all.... The family does not approve. Bummer! I will respect their wishes however, and not pursue... (2013)

          Update: I found our Kelley boys!! So now I have to add California and Washington to my search paremiters (2020) 

HOWEVER: The trees I'm actively digging under are:

Kelley (Iowa, PA and NY and for Tim and the boys CA and WA),
Morey (Iowa, Delaware, New York, Illinois),
Sietmann (Prussia, Iowa),
Tuffree (Iowa, Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky, California, Washington State),
Bit(t)ner (Iowa, Illinois),
Chapin(Iowa),
     Update!! The actual name is CHASE. I found a relative and some online information that proved   my initial reading of the name correct.... (2012)
Shryock (Iowa),
Woolston (Iowa, Delaware)
Mayo (Iowa, Illinois)
Derr (Iowa, Illinois),
Bixby (Iowa)

Van den Heuvel ('s-Hertogenbosch, The Hague, Australia/Tazmania),
Kipp (The Hague),
Hulspas (Monster, The Hague),
Van Dijk (Monster)  Update!! I may have found a relative. While shopping in a newly discovered Scrapbook/Card-making/Family History store I got to talking to the owner, and found out that his family may be connected to Moms.... So exciting. I sent what I could find, and hope for a speedy answer. (2013) Update to the update: no family.

Ive done a little bit more looking around on digital archives over the last year or so, and have found that there is A LOT of information out there now.... I'm back on scent! LOL

If you have any information, please let me know, and we may be able to help each other. For me, my big brick wall is Kelley. I go back to Mikes Great, great grandfather, and before, and after for that matter, I have NO information. On the family itself, I only have names from census records, but not where everybody ended up...... Wouldn't it be nice if one of you reading this, could fill in the blanks?!?!?

See you soon!
