Welcome!

Welcome to the Blough Family Reunion. This is not the typical sort of reunion wherein cousins, uncle, aunts, nephews, and nieces gather and chat. That is much better done in person. This is the reunion of the living Blough and Stoner descendants with their ancestors.  In this blog, we will seek to better know and document the lineages of Vere Blough and his wife, May Stoner.
It's hard to say where this research will take us or how much we can uncover. We do not have far to go to begin. Both family trees may prove to be deeply rooted in southern Pennsylvania. Here, I will post all that I learn about this family tree as often as I can . You are invited to comment and share tips, clues, stories, and corrections.
