The primary surnames I am researching on my Father's side are: Miller, Hutzel, Minchen, Lane, Ballard, Walker, Gonser, Winklepleck, and Charleton. On my Mother's side the surnames are: Mossman, Sheldon, Reep, Lindsay, Lohr, Titus, Thornburg, Scaife, Dungan, Few, Stanfield, Tharp, and Trembly.
Even though I am in Texas my roots started in central Iowa. I was born May 6, 1943, in Eldora, Hardin Co., Iowa. The Miller, Mossman, Reep, and Sheldon families arrived in Hardin Co. in the mid-1850's. The farthest back on the Miller side I have traced is to David Miller, b. abt 1770 in N. Carolina d 1852. His son was Jacob Miller b 11 Mar 1827, Macon Co., Ill d. 24 Nov 1904 Gifford, Hardin Co., Ia. David Miller was married to Jane Cooper. Jacob Miller married Harried Ballard b 18 Nov 1828 Missouri d 2 Apr 1908.

I am also researching my wife's family tree. Her name is Patricia Joan Sardo, the daughter of Francesco John "Frank" Sardo and Teresa Maria Squillace. Pat's family moved from Brooklyn, NY in the 1950's. Her ancestors came to America in the early 1900s from Sicily (Trapani or Mazzars). The primary surnames for her family are: Sardo, Squillace, Salone, Rizzo, Pugliese, & Asaro.

The Mossman line goes back to George Mossman b 28 Jul 1804 in either Grayson Co., VA or England, d 23 Oct 1871 in Hardin Co., IA. George married Hannah Brown 18 Aug 1822. She was born 22 Jun 1805 Grayson Co, VA., d 2 Mar 1887 Hardin Co., Ia.

Father of George Mossman was Arch (Archibald) Mossman (Masman) who was born before 1776, probably in England. I am attempting to prove the Arch Mossman tie and back further.

I am interested in obtaining any information available and willing to supply whatever help I can.
