I am trying to finish what my mother started. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: David Rittenhouse was the first Director of the U.S. Mint. He has a Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/david_ritte... Like most famous people, there are a lot of free databases that show some of his descendants (mostly from other researchers who are descended from him). One example is here: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.c... You can use the "WorldConnect Global Search" link near the bottom of the page to bring up the search form if you want to look for your own ancestors. It might help if you gave us your earliest known ancestor who is part of the Rittenhouse lineage. |
