Yes, your Grandfather William I. Borgman was one of the descendants. Welcome to the family, Cuz!!

Tis a shame, and a little odd actually. But, you're carrying it on for them, right?

I am so thrilled you found us and this forum!! To see the Family Homesite, go to:http://www.digizen.net/members/sunsethttp://www.digizen.net/members/sunset
Please feel free to donate stories, or photos on your family for the Homesite. Your branch migrated to McKees Rock, PA so I don't have as much information on them after they left the Preston County, WV area.I think your Grandfather William is in some of the Borgman Reunion photos. Maybe you can help identify him, and some of the others if we don't have them identified.I think your William was called "Bill" and he actually visited Kingwood several times after leaving there.
Welcome back to the family Betty!!!
Huggs from your newest cousin,
