The Search Begins....
Pictured above are my great-grandparents, Sarah Catharine Storms and Joseph Julius Fredericks on their wedding day, March 4, 1882
The search for my family tree goes back to when I was a little girl, listening to my Great Aunt Dora tell me about our family and to whom we were related. I remember her telling stories about the "old" days in Madison and Ridgewood, NJ. She knew quite a bit of information regarding the area and about our family roots and delighted in telling her stories. This page is dedicated to her and her love of family.

My Current Research
Storms Family
I am trying to locate more information regarding the Storms Family of Bergen County NJ. Looking for information regarding Johannis Storms b. 1765-1766, who married Mary Willis b. 1772. They had
three children that I know of:
Ragel Storms b. 3 September 1789
Issac Storms b. 1792
John J. Storms b. 26 July 1794
John J. Storms b. 26 July 1794 married Jane Guest
on 3 July 1813. Their marriage produced thirteen children of which only 5 survived adulthood. One of whom was my great-great grandfather David Storms.
Any information regarding the above families is greatly appreciated, as are comments and suggestions.
