Families
Three core family lines converge in this genealogy. The Stratton line traces back to colonial Massachusetts; the Schneider line begins in Germany and settles in Indiana; and the Schlemmer line completes the picture. The lines join when William Frederick Stratton married both Karen Sue Schneider (1980) and Lila Ann Schlemmer. This page serves as a story queue, showing who has stories told and who still needs one.
