Hello List, I am Kathryn Gardei in Ohio. I am so happy to see a Baysinger List. I hope it will be an active and informative list. Thank you Valorie. I am researching Michael Basinger who is reported to be one of the three brothers to come on the Minerva in 1770. Brothers Philip Jacob and Johan Peter. It is said that my Michael, who moved to Fayette Co. Pa., was this Michael. What I need are some proofs of this. Records of my Michael prove he was from Lancaster Co. Pa. but have found nothing that proves, to me, that he was of the three brothers. I know that the names of all three families are mostly the same, which is good, but that happens in a lot of unrelated families too. Is anyone able to relieve this sticking point for me. Thanks Kath
