REM

As a matter of policy, this wiki does not provide names or other identifying information for living persons unless there is good reason to do so and consent has been given. REM is a descendant of Richard F. Marshall who has done decades of research on Marshall family history. Through tenacious efforts, REM discovered a summary of the will of Richard F. Marshall and put together a family tree for Richard that has been well validated. REM has also provided guidance and corrective information for others researching Marshall family history. This wiki owes much to REM and is grateful for his work.

Schumacher Register

The Schumacher Register refers to a notebook kept by Lutheran pastor Daniel Schumacher. It included records of baptisms from to 1754-1774 and was written in German. It was translated in 1967 by Frederick B. Weiser, and this translation has been made available for viewing by Ancestry.com as part of an online database:
