Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past.
Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders and they will explain to you.

Searching my family tree started with a visit to Salem Cemetery in Tell Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania with my Mom in 1982.
Like always, we walked the cemetery and she pointed out stones of relatives. On this particular visit, however, I wrote down the information off
of each stone. I decided I would put all of the information into print form as a birthday gift for Mom. She was delighted with the idea....

I got hooked on finding out more about these ancestors....and the search began.

I am interested in any information on surnames that appear on these pages
and will gladly share what I have - all you need to do is contact me.

My Surname List

My Maternal Family Tree
Includes Flott (Flood), Reitenauer (Ridenour) etc

My Paternal Family Tree
Includes Brua (Brewer), Meyer(s) etc

NEW!!!! I have at long last made the connection to the Flott homeland thanks to cousins David Jaymes (USA) and
Gerald Keller (Rohrbach, Germany); as well as Brigette Kohler a local historian in Wembach, Germany. Many thanks to the three of you!!

The Flott family were Waldensians. There are many wonderful sites on the Waldensians and their religion, including:

Piedmont Families Organization, Inc.


and Waldensian History, A Brief Sketch

Wembach and it's sister cities Rohrbach and Hahn are Waldensian Communities.
