DATABASE NOW ONLINE
I am pleased to announce that the Stough-Stauch-Stough Family
Database is now online. Included in the database are descendants of John
George Stauch from his second and third marriage. The database is currently
being reformatted as well, and will be updated soon. If you are seeing a
specific person, feel free to contact me and I will see if I can help.
Use the tool below to search the database:
WHAT IS THE FAMILY DATABASE?
The Stough-Stauch-Stouch Family
Database is a collection of information detailing the lives of John George
Stauch's descendants. There are currently over 5,300 people listed in the
database, cmost being George's descendants from his second and third
marriage.
This information is being stored using Family
Tree Maker 9.0 software. I am planning on creating a larger
database, consisting of other families I am researching. This will enable you
to possibly connect to other people tied in to my research.
HOW WAS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED?
The information contained within
the database was collected by a variety of means. Jay Stouch, a long-time
family research, collected a large portion of this information over the past
30 years. Other ways we collected information was countless hours of library
research, web surfing, contacts located online, phone calls, etc.
HAS THE INFORMATION BEEN PUBLISHED?
While the database has not been
published for purchase, printed reports have been donated to the York County Heritage Trust Library for other
researchers to use in their research. The donated "book", which
consists of nearly 300 pages, contains information on the descendants of John George Stauch
and Anna Maria Christina Baumann. Jay Stouch, who is focusing his research on
descendants of John George Stauch and Anna Barbara Berner, also has his work
included in the library's collection.
DO YOU PROVIDE LOOK-UPS?
I am more than happy to search
through my records to see if I have what you are looking for. I have much
information that has not been entered into the database yet.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
There are many ways you can help
with this project. Any information you can supply about your family is helpful
in keeping our database accurate and up-to-date. I am also trying to acquire copies of various
family items that you may be in possession of. Items I am seeking are photos,
misc. documents (wills, deeds, baptismal, birth and death certificates,
marriage licenses, etc.), stories of family members, newspaper clippings, and other family related materials. If you have items
such as these, and would like to submit copies for donation, please
contact the Webmaster.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Without the information supplied
by others, this database would not be what it is today. The sharing of
genealogical research is fundamental in the success of others. I have
no problem sharing information I have, and are hopeful that you feel the
same.
