Mary & Charlie Doan

I am researching my father's line of Gabbard, Gardner, Peters, Claxton, Floyd. The Gabbard line originally came from Germany. The family members that I know of have lived in Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma and my direct line is from Washington state. My mother's line are German's from Russia and include the following surnames: Weinbender, Bauer, Badt, Resich, Hoffman. Some immigrated to US (Montana, Kansas, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and New York), others to Canada, and others?? I would love to hear from anyone to compare information!
