These linked family group sheets are generated by Reunion, from my database of over 6,360 direct and collateral maternal relatives. (A few links will cross over into the database for my father's relatives. The two sets of pages are tied together, but indexed separately, since they were from different areas and there are only two places where they touch other than in the marriage of my parents.)

They include all the known ancestors of my mother's parents, Charles Valentine Grisso and Ople Mae (Figert) Grisso, descendants of those ancestors, and allied families. Almost all of my mother's ancestors were German Baptist Brethren, who came to Pennsylvania from Germany or Switzerland in the early 1700's, and migrated in family groups to western Virginia, southwest Ohio (Montgomery, Clark, Clermont and Miami counties), and finally northeastern Indiana (Wabash, Kosciusko, Hamilton, and Madison counties).

Surnames with more than 40 individuals represented in the database include Arnold, Barnhart, Blocher, Bollinger, Brubaker, Ebersole, Figert, Flora/Flory, Garber, Garst/Gerst, Grisso, Heeter, Hoffman/Huffman, Miller, Ohmart, Peters, Weaver, Wertz, Zook, and Zug.
