Does anyone have a connection with Franes or Frank Shuder, Finleyville, PA? Daughters were Dorothy, Lillian, Margaret and son Frank Shuder (who lives in PA now. His daughters are Stepahnie, Frances and Alexis. Lilian had 2 daughters who both live in Lancaster, PA: Gretchen and Jennifer. Margaret had a son Jeff and daughter Janice. sharpshuder@gmail.com
Alexis, you might try posting a query on the Ancestry.com boards or GenForum. My early Shuders /Schuders were in Lancaster County, PA then on to Montgomery County, OH and finally Kosciusko County, IN.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
