As you can see Indiana is a common thread in both my and my husband Khris's lines. 

Anyone see a name that they recognize? Let me know, maybe we can help each other tell the stories of our common ancestors.

  1. Welcome to Geneabloggers!
    Reading your blog, it struck me that the Spangenberg name sounds Dutch. Being Dutch myself, I was very much interested. I also have a blog with many genealogical subjects. One of my posts shows a survey of foreign genealogical blogs/sites showing Dutch origin surnames. The URL is http://www.patmcast.blogspot.com/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html. The idea is to try and establish contacts between people who have an interest in the same surname. There are numerous cases in The Netherlands where people emigrated centuries ago without leaving a trace in Dutch archives. With my blog I try to bring Dutch and foreign (mainly US/CAN) genealogists together.
    Therefore, I like to have your permission to show your site in my a.m. blog.
    I look forward to your reaction!
    Kind regards,
    Peter
    PS One of the largest Dutch databases shows close to 800 hits for Spangenberg!

    2. Hi Lisa, Thanks for your permission. I will show your blog in mine. Are you aware of any Dutch ties related to the Spangenbergs?

    3. I am not aware of any Dutch ties, but I haven't traced that line back past U.S. yet. If I find any ties, I will let you know.

  2. I saw on 23andme where Lisa Dillman Wright referred to a Frank E. Wright in my tree. Frank was my grandfather and his father was George E. Wright. I would like to know further about these Wrights and to communicate with Lisa.
