In 2015 I went through all my families in alphabetical order and gave some basic information on each generation and a lengthy footnote of sources for each family. Those entries get many hits every day. Starting tomorrow I will start on Michael's families.
My ancestry is easy. Half Slovak and half New England. Michael is 100% American pioneer with 25% Irish Catholic famine emigrants. Michael has parents born in Oklahoma and grandparents born in Kansas, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Most of these families divide into two groups: Middle Atlantic genealogy including Dutch settlers of New York and Quaker settlers of Pennsylvania and the southern genealogy, mostly in Virginia through Tennessee.
Many of these families appear in print but several I did original research on. Michael is so American that he can enter the Sons of the American Revolution on his patrilineal Clark line and from his mother's Ridpath line.
