Started researching my tree more than 20 years ago. Have gotten most lines back to 1500's but still working on some brick walls. Surnames I am working with: Culver, Andrews, Allison, Coverstone, Brown, Nalley, Gordon, Yocum, Zeh, Tschudi, Stewart, Whiddon, Busby, Allen, Anders, Morrisett, Fauvre, are the most important ones. Family origins are Scotland, England, Germany, France, Ireland.

My brick wall is finding the parents of Benjamin Culver, born c1707 Cecil County, Maryland. Finding any records from the 1600s has been impossible for me. Sorting out the myths from the truth on the Zeh, Tschudi & Yocum (Jochem) families has also been hard. Documentation hard to find.
