Biography

I grew up in Morris County, NJ, where my dad worked as an electrical engineer and my mom taught at a small Christian school. During summers, holidays, or various big family events, we would make the 3 hour drive out to Centre County, PA, where both sets of grandparents and most of our cousins lived.

Since the death of my paternal grandfather in 2009, we have slowly been going through the boxes and boxes of old photos of him, his brothers, his parents, and his grandparents, to set some aside for albums. My paternal grandmother had done some of her own genealogy research before then, and included some rough family trees, old newspaper articles, and a list of various relatives that she was sure we were related to, but not always 100% sure how.

In May of 2015, I finally got around to putting the album together. My great-grandmother Vallimont had done a wonderful job of neatly labeling the photos, so it was simple enough to match the names to the documents my grandmother had given me for the most part. Where things didn't quite match up, I turned to the internet. And before long, a few google searches turned into an almost 500 person family tree stretching from 21st century NJ and PA back to 17th century Pennsylavnia, Quebec, France, Ireland, England, Germany, and Switzerland.

I would love to lend whatever help I can to anyone who might have questions about the Vallimont, Fauconnier, Pennsylvanian Fisher, Schnars, Rider/Reiter, Weber, or Scheckler families.

Hi Christen!

We're 5th cousins, 1x removed. Trying to figure where the Fisher's tie in? Think they're in my tree.

Hey very distant cousin, hope you don't mind that I added some sources to Pletcher-238 and tweaked some of the information. You may find some of said sources useful for anybody else in your family, I highly recommend using FamilySearch, it's free to use but requires an account. Good luck! :)b Michael Pletcher, David Wellington Pletcher, and some others have photos (of themselves and/or grave sites) that you can upload, I don't feel like it's my place to do so when you manage some of those profiles.

Hi Christen

I have been working on Weber profiles as part of the Profile of the Week Project for Daniel Weber. I am not related, but my wife has many PA German settlers in her tree. Further research may reveal a connection.

Ackermans, Zabriskie, Turse, Toers, Demarest, Post, Straut, Rudlun, Conklin and others all settled in Bergen & surrounding counties in north Jersey. They also settled in Orange & Rockland counties in NY. These are all names from my mother's line.

Regards,

Doug

Hi! I've just recently gotten into researching my family history when I received some photos of my 2x great grandparents. The knowledge provided by the community here has been a huge help to me, and I'd love to be able to help others by maybe helping to make some connections that they may be missing.

Thanks to those who have made this site and my research so far possible!
