Frequently I respond to questions on Mailing Lists. I often spend a few hours researching for subscriber's ancestors. I thought it might be helpful to other descendants and researchers to see what I've found, so am posting bits of the original question, and my research into the family genealogy on Olive Tree Genealogy.

The question below on the Dodge and Sterberg families was asked on a popular mailing list. I took some time to research this family. I found some interesting facts about them but Christine, who asked the original question never responded to my findings. So here's hoping another descendant or two will find my research helpful.
