BrokenClaw.netI created this website in 1998 to share our outdoor experiences with our family and friends, and for anyone else with similar interests. The entire website was originally designed, written, hand-coded, uploaded, and maintained as a personal website by Broken Claw. Over the years, the scope of the website has expanded to include my native American ancestry and my Pennsylvania German ancestry. In 2006, I divided the content into separate websites. More recently, I converted the entire website to run on the Wordpress publishing platform. However, I still like the retro 3D style of this home page, so I'm keeping it around for now. All BrokenClaw.net websites meet the standards of an educational site suitable for all ages. My native American site grew out of my research into my paternal ancestry in the Otoe-Missouria tribe of Oklahoma and the Chippewa-Munsee tribe of Kansas. The website contains extensive genealogies of members of both tribes, as enumerated from the late 1800s and beyond. I also maintain an updated Event Calendar for my home state of Maryland. Here I publish my other articles of general native American interest as well. My news aggregator for published stories about the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Oklahoma and its people. All content is copyrighted by the original authors and publishers. I am an enrolled member of the tribe, but I have no other affiliation with tribal governance or administration. The Susquehannock Fire Ring is intended to serve as a virtual gathering place for those who share an ancestry from the native Americans who once populated the great Susquehanna River basin, from New York, across Pennsylvania, to Maryland and beyond. These people are generally known as the Susquehannock. My maternal ancestry descends almost exclusively from the German-Swiss who emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1700s, now known collectively as the Pennsylvania Dutch. During the last 150 years our families settled in and around North Annville Township in Lebanon County, where I grew up. I expanded my genealogy research to include the familial connections among the residents of North Annville. I also use the website to publish my surveys of several North Annville cemeteries, which are a primary source of genealogy research. My blog contains most of the content from our original website, including our accounts of hiking and biking in the Mid-Atlantic region. My Christmas Carols lyrics page was one of the first on the Web, and it continues to draw visitors from all over the world each holiday season. Today I use the Cyber-Toothed Tiger blog to publish my opinions and observations on a variety of subjects.
