About Lis

Three years ago, Lis started an adventure that has led to finding many lost and unknown relatives. It all started with a simple question and now has turned into a great passion.

Currently Lis is working on her family history with the majority of family roots in Northwestern New Jersey. She is also in the process of writing a book documenting her family and a cookbook filled with recipes passed down through generations.

Lis Kemple is a stay at home mom to an 8 year old daughter and a full time accounting student set to graduate spring of 2012. Born and raised in New Jersey but now Lis resides in Hampton Roads, Virginia. With an area rich in history it's a great inspiration for genealogy research.

This weekend I started working on a family line that I had not yet touched.  I started with Edith Snook nee Ackerson and went from there.  Thanks to the wonderful contributors on Find-A-Grave I was able to locate a stone for Phylah Dennis located in the Deckertown – Union Cemetery in Wantage New Jersey.

Phylah Dennis nee Parcel is the grandmother of Edith Snook Ackerson.

Born: 1816

Died: April 21, 1837 (4 months after Sarah Dennis was born.  Sarah is Edith’s mother)

Married: Joseph Dennis

From here I’m not sure who Phylah’s parents were.  My research shows that the Dennis, McCoy, and Parcel families were living near each other and marrying into each other’s families.  I’m not sure what family Phylah is directly related to at this time.
