I have been researching my family history for over 20 years. The majority of my ancestors were kind enough to spend most of their lives in Jasper and Marion counties in Iowa so my sleuthing has been relatively easy. There are always a few who don't fit the mold and I have enjoyed tracking their whereabouts, especially the Swiss ancestors - I will use any excuse for a vacation!

The main surnames are Middleton, Spalti, Routh, Agard, Winters, Mudgett, Awtry, Shroyer.

My husband's family is from French Canadian and German ancestry. They settled in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Those surnames are Schmitz, Fritschen, Millette and Guerard.

I would love to share information on any of the above surnames. Email me!
