John:
I always look to come into contact with cousins in the extended family.....Good to hear from you....
I would believe that the John McFeeley you refer to is my uncle, my dad's youngest brother.
Edward Scott Ghrist is my great-grandfather. His daughter, Alice Walthour Ghrist (sister of Albert Strickland Ghrist) was my paternal grandmother....
I do have a lot on the Portzer side of things thanks to a wee bit of work by me and whole, and I do mean a whole, lot of work done by a Portzer cousin who is now deceased.
I am beginning to shift my attention in my efforts to the Ghrist family. I've come into contact with a another cousin whose great-grandmother was another of Edward/Malinda's children, Dora. We're sending info back and forth.
RE: ghrist reunions, I remember going to several in Greensburg with my Dad when my grandmother was still alive but that goes back to the early 60's....none since then...
Yes, I would love to share any info we can.
Contact me via email at <
r.mcfeeley@attbi.com> with contact info for yourself and we can check it out.....
