My name is Wayne Peters, and I am researching
my ancestry. My goal, with this website, is to
provide as much information on each person as I
possibly can. As resources, I have used family
members, books, and the internet to collect the
information that you will find at this site.
I decided to make 4 starting points (ancestors)
from which you can navigate back as
far as I could go. These are my paternal and maternal grandparents.
Info on my immediate family:
My wife: R Shan Sizemore Peters.(follow this link to the Sizemore tree)
Our son: Robert W Peters; wife: Tara Creekmore; son: Aaron
My father: Ralph L Peters
My mother: Mildred L Hiers
My 4 starting points are:
My paternal grandparents: Virgil Peters and Carrie Hiers (1)
My maternal grandparents: William Hiers (2) and Helen Freeman
Yes, there are Hiers on both sides of my family. Both Hiers (1) and Hiers (2) can be traced back to John Jacob Heyer and two of his sons who immigrated from Germany to Charleston, SC, in 1751, on the ship Ann. (see video)
