About the Rader One-Name Study

The primary focus of the Rader One-Name Study is the families which have names which sound like Rader or Roetter. I am using all methods of study and welcome all families. I follow each line until it hits a daughter and then I include her spouse and children. I am currently focusing on european families as I have spent the past 20 years collecting those in the USA.
