Our current project needing funding is the Direct Male Descendants of Robert Fleming DNA testing project.  DNA is the only way we are going to be able to find more about the origin of our ancestor Robert Fleming. Small amounts can quickly grow to the full amount needed.
DNA testing could also be done to help clear up the mystery of Felix Stambach's ancestors and origin. Is it Switzerland, Germany or France?

Don't own a computer?
You don't need to own one because this is a site which can be added to or edited right from any computer to which you have access (as long as that computer is hooked up to the internet) and your Work Group Member Account is currently activated!
For instance, the public libraries have computers which are available to all who have library cards.

By asking for and activating your Work Group Member you are pledging to be a "contributing member of the work group" and not just a "looky loo" or  "harvester of information" you find here.

There will always be a need for people, such as yourself; who are willing to add information, photos, etc for their families as well as the on-going need for those who are willing to edit the pages to make sure the pattern of the templates is being followed as well as help us help catch those "slips of the eyes, fingers and brain" which cause cause errors in spelling, sentence structure, etc.

Then, there's lots of pictures waiting to be used to decorate the pages once we get all the genealogy pages from the old site moved to our Wiki YOUR PLACE to SHARE.

When we all work together we will grow the most complete picture of Felix Stambach's descendants as humanly possible.

Remember, today's beginning page count of  family pages on Wiki YOUR PLACE to SHARE is 13, 041 with many more to be added!  We're looking forward to yours!

Getting the itch to take part yet?

Hope so!

 Lena Stambaugh of Pennsylvania
has been identified but your help is still needed as per the e-mail below her photo

Hi,
Lena was my gg aunt on my father's side. I don't have her exact date of birth but she and her siblings were born between 1873 and 1886. Her real name was Helena and she married James Ritchey. Lena was not born in Penn.
She was born in Rushville/Beardstown, IL area but had close family in Penn.
I assume that perhaps her picture was mailed to a family member there.
Lena's parents were Michael Stambaugh, born in Hanover, PA in abt 1850 and
her mother was Louisa Lashmet, born in Rushville, IL in abt 1850. They had 7
children. Frank, Henry Howard born 1873 or 1875??( my ggranfather), Lena,
James Everett, born 1880?, Roland Edgar, born 1883? and John, born 1886.
It is believed that Michael's parents were Peter Stambaugh and Susan
Strausbaugh both from Penn. I have searched and searched and can get no
further back than this. It has been brought to my attention that perhaps
Michael was a middle name and not his first. I have searched based on that
info but still nothing. The way I have Michael and Louisa's children listed
are suppose to be in the order they were born according to the source who is
Raymond Stambaugh, Michaels' grandson/ my great uncle who is now deceased.
I have more info if you feel there is a connection please let me know. I am
really dead ended on the Stambaugh side of my tree. Thanks Anna
If anyone has further info please send e-mail to: Anna; Karen Adams and Shelley Cardiels

We ask that you please keep us to date on your current e-mail address and let us know any time you change it.  For without that, we are wasting time trying to send e-mail updates to no longer working e-mail addresses.

It is frustrating to see how many e-mail's sent to family members come back to as "refused", not valid address, or as no such address.
