About the Book
Peter Rambo, Peter Gunnarson Rambo's second son, and his descendants are the focus of this fourth volume of the Rambo Family Tree series. Peter was an active member of Gloria Dei Church, became a large landowner, and was a representative of Philadelphia to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1709. Peter and wife Magdalena Skute lived on Pennypack Creek in Lower Dublin Township [now part of Philadelphia]. This volume lists all their children and many generations of descendants although generally no people still living will be recorded herein.
Rambo is the primary surname in this book although extended families are recorded by daughters who married Davis, Johnson, Kiger, Roof, Runyan, and Smith husbands.

About the Author
Ron Beatty discovered a passion for genealogy thiry years ago when he interrupted a motorcycle trip to visit his Aunt Verla in Sun City, Arizona. He knew that his brother & sister enjoyed genealogy and wanted a copy of Verla's materials. Verla accepted Ron's offer to type and a week later they were both worn out. Ron had "made" a Christmas present for brother, sister and Aunt Verla and was greatly surprised later to find that he had gotten "hooked" on genealogy.
Ron is now in his third retirement and is still pursuing those elusive ancestors. His genealogical research benefits from his love of travel (still motorcycling), his years of experience with the courts (as systems analyst), and his advanced computer skills. Ron has always loved puzzles and genealogy is the granddaddy of them all.
At the moment, Ron and Cynthia are enjoying a vacation rental with an awesome view of the Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona. We are still motorcycling, hiking, and genealogizing. rsbeatty@gmail.com
