This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: PORTER, ROOP, MARSHALL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SOC.2ACE/1299 Message Board Post: I have recently had an opportunity to browse through a family bible owned by a member of my Porter family. In the family tree section there are entries for MARSHALLs (Frank H, George H, Mina F, Nora C, and John L) and ROOPs (Margaret, Christopher, John, Mary, Isaac, Susan, James and Relief). And entries for PORTERs (Joseph, Adelbert, John, Mary, William, Asa N, David A., Charlotte E, and Augusta)... Up until now I was unaware of any connection with either MARSHALL or ROOP. Are there any members of the Marshall and Roop family who possibly have a few Porters mixed into their line. I would be interested in pursuing the connection. Thanks.... gail metcalfe
