This page will show a direct descendency between the authors of the Civil War Letters of William and Mary Strieby and the children of Jeff & Kim Roller.

Many of the links from here on are password protected. When prompted, enter the word "Roller" as the username (uppercase R, no quotes). If you know my family well, you will know that growing up we had two dogs with the same name. Enter the name of those dogs (all lower case) as the password. If you don't know this information, please contact me.

Begin with the last page of the last Civil War Letter written by Mary (Fordyce) Strieby where her infant daughter Margaret is named for the first time. You can also read the details of her birth in a letter written from Mary that provides the date, weight and size of the baby.

Link on Margaret's name to display Hazel Sanford's Obituary. This will show Margaret as Hazel's mother.

Link on Hazel's daughter, Georgiana Shupp, to display her obituary. This link names her husband John and children Ronald, Stanley John, and Sharon K.

Following the link of Sharon will take you to the birth certificate of her first born, Jeffrey L. Roller.

You can then follow the final links in this chain to the birth certificates of Jeff Roller & Kimberly Ann (Keipper)'s children, Alec & Adam. Mary Strieby, Alec & Adam's Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother was born in 1840. Adam was born in 1996. This documented 156-year-old paper trail is a gift to Alec & Adam Roller.
