Hi Everyone; Joining this list has done wonders for my family tree. I have found 2 more researchers working from Samuel Blanchard b.1819 England. It's a wonder to go from one generation to 5 in a week. Thank you all. Albert, I don't think the Samuel on the Oregon Trail is either of mine. I'll keep looking for anything that says he traveled, but I'd guess yours came from the East Coast. Looking forward to hearing more.
