More DescriptionJoseph de Chaumontet Shomo came from France to the USA settling in Berks County, PA in 1750. He married Anna Maria Fricker who traveled with him on the same boat. She was born in Germany, and they became the parents of 4 sons and 1 daughter. Three of their sons were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. One of their sons moved to New Market, Shenandoah County, VA: Anthony Shomo (Chaumont) who fought in the Revolutionary War. One of their grandsons moved to Barbour County, WV: Daniel Shomo who fought in the War of 1812. This book is about the lives of many of their greats grandchildren who lived in WV and who have now graduated from earth. If you are a Shomo descendant, you will learn more about your various grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in this book and will see some photos. You will see DNA matches and learn more about your connections with royalty in France, England, Wales, Scotland, etc. You can read an interesting story my sister wrote 12 years before she died about her memories in Taylor County and Barbour County, WV. You will learn about the connections to Jamestown, VA & Bacon's Castle in Surry County, VA. There is another book about this family which extends to the Shomo descendants from other states and more about the "Chaumonts & France. In France this is the "Chaumont" family. In America this is the "Shomo" family. Hope you will enjoy reading about our story of our journey for over 50 years to find our roots and what all we have learned with DNA proof. What a journey it has been and one that never ends! Thanks to my husband, Ken Forinash for editing this and all of my other books. The name of book 2 is "Chaumont - Shomo & Fricker - From France & Germany to the USA - Shomo's Descendants".
