Keystone Threads

Hi, I’m Mike Fry and I created this site to document my genealogy and to profile individuals from the Fry/Merritt families. I began researching during Covid in 2020 after the death of our son, Matthew Charles Merritt Fry. In my youth, I was one of those people who could never understand family lines and didn’t pay much attention. Now, I can’t get enough of peeling away the layers of my family tree. Much of my family history aligns with the birth and development of Pennsylvania, and I am very proud to be a resident of our great Commonwealth. I’m doing my best to learn this new craft, so I hope you bear with me as I develop this site and my research. Enjoy!
