Research on the Stahler family and related names began in 1990 simultaneously with researching information on the Thomas (paternal) and Murphy (maternal) books, which took us from New England to Colorado. The Stahler book took place in the southwest counties of Pennsylvania. All but two surnames in this volume are from Germany and many names repeated in family stories. Because of this, a superscript was used in discussion to clarify generations (also used for footnotes). Stories are remembered. One is Jacob Christman was killed on his farm, and another Jacob Christmen was also killed on the same farm. Or that Gloria’s father was the first athlete playing high school football. They played at Pottsville and won 19–13. “The newspaper account pointed out Pottsville hit a pass receiver in the crowd and he scored two touchdowns through this deception.”

Travel with Augustus (Bud) Thomas as he follows the descendants of John Murphy, an immigrant to the newly formed Unites States in 1788. Bud fills us with stories of the building of America. Stretching from the East coast to the West coast, the Murphy family includes surnames such as Fesler, Putnam, Skinner, and Waldo. And while the Murphys might not be connected to the Kings of England, they are connected to some of America's finest, including President John Adams.
