good morning. my name is john taylor coe and i'm fairly new to this listserv. however, i was thrilled to find it and am hopeful that someone out there can help me trace my ancestors back into the darker recesses of time... to date i'm able to trace my lineage as follows: john taylor coe b.1966 john ellis coe b 1940 percy ellis coe b. 1915 percy taylor coe samuel taylor coe john william coe samuel coe b. 1786 elijah coe b. 1757 abel coe b. 1727 joseph coe b. 1686 john coe b. 1658 robert coe II b. 1627 robert coe b. 1596 i'm fairly confident that i've got this line correct as per my family's records... my curiosity is this: i was able to id some records that indicated that my ancenstors go back to essex, england and are decendants of a john coo b. 1375... my wife (lisa) and i are travelling to the uk this summer and are eager to explore some of my family's history in that country but i have been unable to-date to connect my ancestors in north america with those in the uk. any assistance in this regard would be really swell! additionally, as we will be travelling to the highlands of scotland, i'm curious to find if there is any connection between the coe (coo) lineage and the town glencoe, scotland and the river coe. thx in advance to any and all who have this info. -- johncoe /\ o_ /^^\/\/\ -'/= /\ _/^^^^\^\_\_()\/()__/^^\___ "Let our people travel light and free on their bicycles." -- Edward Abbey
