Welcome to Shanesville.com
Welcome to Shanesville.com, the genealogy web site of Andy Shane of New York City. I've been researching my genealogy (the Shane line and all other lines) as a hobby throughout much of my life.
Up until myself, my direct ancestors have been living almost entirely in Berks County, Pennsylvania (primarily Earl Township and those surrounding it) since before the American Revolution. Immediately prior to that, the origin of most of them was the area which is now Germany and Switzerland and the rest were Lenape Tribe Native Americans.

I have a tremendous amount of information and media on my genealogy, but Shanesville.com is brand new and it will take a bit longer to get it online. Besides that, I have additional plans for this site including interactive features for Johannes Schön descendants and eventual organization of Shane family reunions which will take place in Shanesville or at least Earl Twp.
