Len I {believe}I have my 5 ggggg grd father Hans Dubbendorfer Kueffer/Cooper back to the time he was born in Swiss in 1701. Just haven't been ablle to prove it totally. I have alot of my ancestors back to England in 1500's and one to Wales to the yr 1100. It hasn't been easy but fun anyway. I found in my research that one of my lines from England Roger Parks was also an ancestor of my wife, so we are cousins about 13 times removed. Just keep searching and U will get a break one day.
