Debby, LOL, I vote for the alien theory, which is what I have decided about my particular Coe's from Scriba NY. They just kind of appear, disapear then more appear, and they all marry the same families of Coon, Prosser (my direct line) & Johnson. But none of them connect! So they must be aliens.....
