Please scroll down to see new additions to Photos, Documents, Headstones, Histories, and Individuals. Note that because the category of "Individuals" records the alphabetized names of all recently changed people, it is often only a partial list since usually there are more changes than the list can hold. First, however, before any of these lists, I include a list of recent major updates to the database.

October 14. 2007: Many new images of gravestones from Anne Arundel County, Maryland cemeteries have been added, for St. James' Parish Church in Lothian, Christ Church in Owensville, and All Hallows Chapel in Davidsonville. Also, further ancestry of the Froelich family has been added, taken from the Froelich Family history; new direct lines are visible in the maternal ancestors of Johannes Carl von Rosenberg. The Froelich and von Rosenberg families were very close before Peter Carl's 1849 immigration, their families intermarrying over several generations.
May 9, 2007: New information has been added to the New England Histories page about the McLellans. This section of the database, which includes the ancestors of William Henry Paine McLellan and his wife Leonora Levensaler--especially in her puritan ancestry, on her mother's side--has been fleshed out with new and corrected information.
April 14, 2007: The software governing the website (TNG) has been updated to a new version. Lots of new functions and ways of presenting data, large and small, have been changed. Please tool around the new drop-down menus and new way to "bookmark" pages of the site. Many new headstone images have now been added, especially from cemeteries in Kentucky (scroll down to see some of the images). They belong to ancestors and wider relations on the core tree of John Lansdale, Jr.
March 21, 2007: New direct ancestry for the tree of John Lansdale Jr. has been added in the ancestors of Mary Phillips, who was his GGG Grandmother. She and her husband James Savage moved from Virginia to northern Kentucky in the late 1700s. One line of her ancestors can be traced, with reasonably good authority, back to England.
January 28, 2007: Several new documents on McLellan ancestry have been added to the Lousiana Histories page, on Alden McLellan's Civil War service, and on Asahel W. McLellan and the Alden Mills. Information on on two Lansdale ancestors has also been included: Dr. Richard Hyatt Lansdale lived for many years a peripatetic life as he made his way west during the mid-nineteenth century before ending up in Olympia Co., Washington, where he served as a doctor and Indian Agent. Dr. Philip Lansdale was a surgeon in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War.
August 5, 2006: Two new additions: first, a new page on Quaker Ancestors has been added. Second, an ancestry for Allen Strain has been added which connects him back from Tennessee to families in Virginia and Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Allen Strain's family bible was preserved for many years at Essex Farm in Maryland. Allen's father is pretty securely correct, but the link to his grandfather David Strain Sr. (and therefore his grandfather's wider relations, which are known) could use more support; I include the connection in the hopes that others may help.
July 18, 2006: I have added in the ancestry of James Savage, at least on his father's side. This is tentative but logical. There are about 4 different Savage families who immigrated to the Eastern Shore of Virginia during the 17th century, and this line has the clearest support. This ancestry connects him back to Ensign Thomas Savage, who immigrated to Jamestown in 1608 as a young teenager, lived with Powhatan for a year, and was a childhood friend of Pocohantas. More will be added on to this line as time allows.
July 8, 2006: I have added in much about Maryland families, including the Bowies and the Contees, Quaker families allied with the Snowdens and the Thomases, and initial information about Delia Donovan's (apparent) ancestors from Harford County (note the query on her page). Information has been added about the family of Margaretta Lansdale and Samuel Williams, a branch of the Lansdales who moved to Ohio and the midwest. The addition of many census records about the descendants of Robert Franklin Sr. has been finished.
June, 2006: One quirk of the privacy policy for the tree was that if no birth or death date appeared for any person, that person's name would be hidden. A new functionality has been uncovered, however: if "Yes, date unknown" is inserted instead of a death date, the TNG software whose rules control the privacy will see it as a date, and unhide the person. This gets rid of the annoying problem which prevented non-registered users from seeing a 17th-century person's name just because their vital dates were unknown. This update is happening across all of the trees for folks who are obviously dead; this means that many, many more names will appear in searches, and that information and queries under these names are now visible.
April 8, 2006: Added family related to James Dilworth and Ann Waln, who immigrated in 1682 to Pennsylvania on board the "Lamb" as colleagues of William Penn and his Quaker settlers to Pennsylvania. I have also been adding information from many census records across the trees.
February 3, 2006: Updated the Civil War page with fuller entries and new documents and photographs.
January 10, 2006: Added the direct ancestral lines for the ancestors of Mary Turner, the mother of Leonora Levensaler (wider relations and fuller stories will be added as time permits). Leonora was born in Maine and migrated to New Orleans with her husband W.H.P. McLellan. These folks are Leonora Levensaler's Puritan ancestors who immigrated to Massachusetts in the early and mid-1600s, living especially in Scituate and Hingham.
January 6, 2006: Added the direct ancestral lines for the ancestors of Katherina Zentner (wider relations and fuller stories will be added as time permits). All of these folks lived in Germany. These lines push the ancestors of Julie Groos, who married Johannes Carl von Rosenberg, back several generations. Also added several new people to the Civil War page.
November 13, 2005: Added pages for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
September 10, 2005: Filled out another set of Lansdales on the tree, the descendants of Charles Lansdale and Catherine Wheeler. This family includes, among others, Gen. Edward Geary Lansdale, whom Graham Greene used as his model in The Silent American. Along with this the Maryland Mysteries page has been fleshed out: how does this family related to other set of Lansdales, the descendants of Isaac and Margaret?
September 8, 2005: Added family connected to S287, One Hundred Years Ago: the Life and Times of Walter Dulany Addison, 1769-1848.
June 13, 2005: Added the bare bones of some Acadian ancestry (flesh will be added as time permits). Acadians (who become known as Cajuns when they immigrate to Louisiana in the 1750s) appear at the far ends of two branches: ancestors of the DeGrange family, and ancestors of the Tomlinson family. Jean Mouchon is a direct ancestor of the DeGranges via his daughter Isabella. Jean's son, Paul, married Adelaide Ferlot, whose ancestors were Acadian. For the Tomlinsons, Mary Leonese Theriot was a direct ancestor of Hendley Edgar Tomlinson. Her ancestry is thoroughly Acadian. (Interestingly, these two branches relate by marriage; you can trace this connection through the descendants of this family, one branch of which descends to Ferlot, another to Mary Leonese Theriot).
June 8, 2005: Added and corrected much about Gregg and Hamilton ancestors. All of these lines are direct ancestors of Minerva Hamilton. John Hamilton Sr. and his son, John Hamilton Jr. both served in the Revolutionary War; John Lansdale Jr. reached back to them to become a member of the SAR. The Greggs, who were Quakers, are a complicated bunch with many descendants; on this tree there are two different groups of them, descending from immigrant ancestors Samuel Gregg and William Gregg (which converge in Capt. Aaron Gregg, who was Minerva Hamilton's grandfather).
June 1, 2005: Added a number of Groos and related ancestors, the ancestors and relations of Julie Wilhelmine Christine Groos who married Johannes Carl von Rosenberg. Many are visible as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation maternal Grandparents of Metta Tomlinson. (More on this family added July 30, 2005).
May 25, 2005: Added a number of McLellan relatives from Maine, esp. the descendants of Richard Edwards. Updated the Civil War page, which now includes a number of Union soldiers, esp. from Maine.
May 16, 2005: the web-page format for the site has been entirely rewritten, and TNG software has been updated to version 5, with lots of new features to access the database.
May 2, 2005: the McLellan family from Maine (beginning with immigrant ancestor Bryce) has been completely updated, including the addition of source references, documents, and images.
