Welcome to my website for the purpose of family genealogy.  This site is the foremost genealogical site on the web for the surname Sholder, Scholderer, Shoulder, Scholder, Sholders, Shoulders and all other variations.

Other name studies include the descendants of Blooming Grove, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania which was settled in 1804.  And the Op den Graef / Updegraff families who established Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1683.

The site is still moving in, as I had a site up for almost 7 years, but decided to redesign it, so please bear with me as I get all of my information back online over the coming months.  I have moved all of the family data in already so those pages are ready to go.
