Our semi-annual family newsletter
"Roots" will be e-mailed to relatives in June & December annually. PLEASE e-mail to Sherry updates on your life - graduations, births/deaths, awards, weddings, anniversaries, vacation,
travel, new pets, warm memories, funny anecdotes, old family stories, prayer requests, pictures or whatever you would like
to share with our family members. Several issues of our newsletter are posted on this website on the "Family Publications"
page. Contact Sherry Winebarger-Reeter to receive past editions!

I am pleased to have connected in February
2009 with Lisa Saylor of Catawba Co., NC who is a descendant of Cunrod Winebarger.
Cunrod Winebarger was either the father or the adoptive father of our John (Festler)Winebarger. I'm looking forward to getting to know Lisa and hoping for her family's assistance
with cousin Charles Smith Winebarger's DNA project now that I have placed them in contact.

Charles
Smith Winebarger seeks male descendants of John (Festler) Winebarger and Cunrod
Winebarger (son of George Winebarger) for
DNA testing. He wishes for them to join him in having their Y-DNA (father’s line) tested to compare our most recent common ancestors. This test should clear up the
question of whether our John Winebarger (born about 1789) was a natural son of Cunrad Winebarger or if he was John
Festler who was adopted by the Winebarger’s when his parents died aboard ship coming to America from Germany.
Please play an integral role in this genetic research by contacting Charles at
CWinebar99@aol.com

In 2008, we mourned the passing of cousin
Eva Miller Bear (daughter of Cicero & Hattie Winebarger Miller;
granddaughter of Dalton &
Lula Miller Winebarger) who died in Eugene, OR
on Oct. 5 of cancer at age 94.
Our Winebarger-Ford-Miller-Moretz Family Directory
continues to grow with the contact information
of many relatives recorded!
We hope to locate even more family members
so relatives can be in contact no matter
where they live.
Our Family Directory is available
upon request
via e-mail to family members!
