Here is a link that contains 24 family trees with Gen. Anthony Wayne.

Trying to find ancestors without the full name is difficult but not impossible. If you want to send me an email, I can help you get started and give you some tips.

go to ancestry.com its the best geaneology site there is - i think. the best place to start though is with yourself and work backwards. on ancestry you type in as much info you know and see what comes up. you may have to search the pages for a while to get what you want. hope this helps - good luck!

Some of the books listed here might contain locations, family listings, and future research locations to help find primary documents:

These are public domain books & are free to download. I use this site to research my more famous (and infamous) ancestors; but be advised, the information should be vetted.

"Mad Anthony" would be a great addition to anyone's family tree...

Happy hunting!

I have Family Tree Maker cd and i find it helpfull.
Let me know if it helps and they are good at finding out you spelling errors.

I can extend your family tree forward. Send me the names, birth dates, birth places and spouse names of your children.

Work from your current generation, write down all your siblings & spouces. Then add their children & their spouces & children if there are any.

Write down your parents, and siblings they had. Add their spouces & children.

Then grand parents.

One of the best (or worst) resources you can find is a family bible, aunts, uncles, grand parents. Write down any names they can give you, as full a name as they remember, any dates, birth, marriage and death.

Then hit the internet. There are several free sites out there, some are worth what you pay for them, so be careful. There are sites that only want you to join. There are sites that want a fee.
You are going to have to get some method of tracking all this information. Some sites offer free forms if you want to keep a written copy. Some will offer free software.

Good Luck & Good Hunting.
Once the geneology bug bites you it is hard to shake.
