I am new to the list and have just sent in three FGSs of our Bolin family. I descend from three Bolin lines and my wife from one (so my children descend from four). I have more details about our Bolins in my web database "Our Ancestors" at the address in my signoff signature. These three Bolins, Wm, James, and Jesse are related to Benjamin Bolin, they are either sons or brothers (probably sons). I'm looking for more information about Benjamin and his family and his pedigree. The way I currently understand Benjamin's family is in the following two FGSs.
