I didn't recognize your BOND but I recognize Johannis BUYS and Neeltje CLASSE. They are my dead end. I have Johannis being born in Curacco, Dutch West Indies. Diane Williams Yes I have the information on Johannis Buys father : Jan Thyseen Buys (Buis). mother: Jeantie VanDenHam They had 5 children. I am having a problem connecting our Johannis Buys b. 1736 to Jonahhis Buys son of Jan Thyseen Buys. Everyone I talk to says this has to be our line but have not made connection yet. I have more info on children if you want it. Tomorrow I will get my papers out and scan them and send them to you. I am using a flat bed scanner that can save and then I can send it by email. Sure hope we can connect. Lyla I feel like a little kid in a candy store. The Buys line for me is also through marriage. But I have been a Buys for so long I feel they are my family. My brother-in-law passed away Nov. 3, 1998, He was my brother-in-law, big brother, friend, Buddy, Computer friend and helper for genealogy. I miss him very much. He died of cancer here at home with his big brother and me. He is at peace now. Hes up there talking to all the people we have been finding. I hope this has not been to long or boring. Lyla
