My Shumaker/Shoemaker/Shumacher relatives have been traced back to Germany in the 1500's. I would like to do more parallel branching out at this point, to see how many states my ancestors have covered.
Do any of you have family trees on-line that you could post the links to? Mine is:

If it helps anyone, great...if you can help me, I'd appreciate it even more! I've already found one distant relative on here and would like to find more!

Hello Ohio Shoemakers! I am a descendant of Simon Shoemaker, who settled in Highland County, Ohio in the early 1800's. I would love to hear from any of my Shoemaker cousins. My line is the following: Simon, Samuel, John Weaver, Jacob, Thomas, Estel, Sr., Estel, Jr., Me.

My Shoemaker family originated in Pennsylvania, but by the mid-1700's had settled in Salem county, New Jersey. From there, they migrated westward and are found in Butler Co., OH, Vigo Co., IN, Tazewell, Washington and Stephenson counties, IL, and Gage Co., NE. Feel free to peruse my family tree website...perhaps we're connected! Here's the URL: www.kdvkfamilytree.freesitespace.net. Use the Name Index to find the Shoemaker's.

My Shoemakers are located in Georgia and Alabama and the spelling does vary. I have definite traces to 1850's then I have a little trouble. Maybe someone has similar ties.

I want to thank everyone for your post to the wall and discussion forum to date. A good start, I think. I also wanted to thank everyone for posting you ancestry to the group. If I may ask, could those who posted your ancestry to the wall, re-post your info to the discussion Forum.

I ask this for two reasons:
1. Since the newest entries to the wall are listed first, your entries may be missed by new folks when they join the group (especially several months down the road.
2. If someone has a response to you posting, The replies will be listed with your posting. It's not always easy to follow a thread on the wall.

Hopefully, we will all be able to make some significant breakthroughs on our research.

My Shoemaker was John C. Shoemaker. His parents were Joseph and Susanna ? Shoemaker. Joseph was born about 1821 in Ohio, They had four children.

John Shoemaker born in Ohio about 1842, Amalie Shoemaker born in Ohio about 1844, Wilson Shoemaker born in Ohio about 1847, and Martha Shoemaker born in Ohio about 1849.

John married Rosa Johnston. Have not been able to locate a marriage license yet. They had the folowing children:

Ida Mae Shoemaker born July 25, 1865, married David T. Lloyd on July 18, 1882 and died January 5, 1917, William Shoemaker and Elizabeth Shoemaker.

John was in service during the Civil War and became a member of the Grand Army of the Republic organization. Last found in the 1870 census in Alliance, Stark County, Ohio.
