This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

Getting Schooled ~ The Schooley Family

 My husband's 6th great grandparents were:

Johannes Martin Buchner
BIRTH 29 JAN 1704 • Unnau, Nassau (now), Westerwald, Germany
DEATH 1780 • Sussex County, New Jersey, United States of America
&
Elsa Maria (Elizabeth) Zehrung
BIRTH 14 OCT 1704 • Fehl-Ritzhausen, (now Marienberg), Nassau, (now) Westerwald, Germany
DEATH 1780 • Amwell, Sussex, New Jersey, USA


Ancestry DNA confirmed the traditional research one generation higher through the Buchner line through their son:

Johan Heinrich (Henry) Buchner
BIRTH 10 DECEMBER 1734 • Duitsland, Rheinland Pfalz
DEATH 2 DEC 1817 • Crowland Township, Welland, Niagara, Ontario, Canada
married 
Anna Eva Maria Dell
BIRTH ABT 1737 • Sussex, New Jersey, British Colonial America
DEATH ABT. 1803 • Welland Co., Ontario, Canada

Are you wondering what these relatives have to do with this week's prompt SCHOOL?

I'm so glad you asked!

Anna Eva Maria Dell had 3 brothers and a sister.

One sister and one brother married into the SCHOOLEY family.

Oldest brother Richard married Elizabeth Schooley.

Richard Dell (twin to Bassnet)
BIRTH 16 OCT 1726 • Sussex, New Jersey, British Colonial America
DEATH 3 AUG 1804 • Hanover Township, Morris, New Jersey, United States
married (February 28th 1754, Mendham, Morris, New Jersey, USA)
Elisabeth Schooley
BIRTH 20 JUL 1729 • Chesterfield, Burlington, New Jersey, British Colonial America
DEATH 20 NOV 1790 • New Jersey, United States


Older sister Elizabeth married William Schooley. 

Elizabeth Dell
BIRTH 1728 • Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
DEATH 27 JAN 1762 • Sussex County, New Jersey, USA
married (November 27th 1760, Woodbridge, Union, New Jersey, USA
)William Schooley
BIRTH 1727 • Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
DEATH 27 JAN 1767 • Sussex, New Jersey, United States

While working in this section of our Bramble Bush it can be challenging to get the generations correct. As an example. our William above married an Elizabeth. His parents were William and Elizabeth. At one point I had children assigned to the junior couple that were born when they were 11 & 12.  Definitely need to be more careful while adding folks and facts. 

Getting schooled on the Schooleys!

I found quite a bit of interesting information during my internet searching for this Quaker family. There is a lot of information out there for descendants looking for more information.



Using this week's prompt to be schooled on the Schooley portion of this Bramble Bush!!!










Cause ... 




You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
