Our mission is to collect, preserve, and publish historical, genealogical records concerning the family and decendents of John Christopher Shockey, aka Johann Christoffel Schacke who entered the United States at Philadelphia, PA September 10, 1737. He was born June 8, 1720 in Kirchheimbolanden, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany to Swiss parents.

The fellowship started with Ralph and Marie Shockey and fellow Shockey cousins.
