I joined Mastodon today after watching the Mastodon video on the Allen County Public Library YT channel. I am 23 and I absolutely love since finding my late father's parents in the last two years. I live in KY with my family. included are Unger, Gregory, Coe, Douglas, Starkweather, McCarey, Fulmer, Arnold, Schultz, VanPatten, Kimbell, Isham, Pollard, Martin, Baker and Millard. Most of my ancestors settled in Syracuse, New York and surrounding counties.

Many years ago, I chanced upon a printed Genealogy of the Freligh family, written by Genealogist Theodore “Ted” Overbagh.

At the time, I had no evidence that my lines met up with the ones in his Genealogy, so I contacted the author to see if he had any further information. He then sent me his “Addendum” to that document. From the second document, I was able to connect my Freligh lines to his substantial compiled .

[This article is intended to be a resource for Genealogists researching the Freligh surname and associated surnames, such as Fraleigh and Froelich. Additional resources for researching this surname and the Palatine Emigrants (aka “Pennsylvania Dutch”) are listed at the end of this article.]

In #2020 I moved to the (which needs a over the "u") District and was pleased to find that at least three of my second-cousins whose birth- was lived within an hour's drive and that that radius included our common great-grandfather's . That man, , a lawyer turned preacher, has an entry in the Dictionary of . . Good move - except that I had had several first cousins closer before!
