Hi, None of these people are related to me that I know of. Sorry. mike

Hi Mike, It is just me trying another approach to finding my Thomas/Chester Curtiss. On ancestry plus I found a person who had a birth date for my Thomas/Chester. The person will not answer my emails but it appears she copied information from someone named Cox. I am trying to find this person so I thought I would put in a query on her line in hopes I get an answer. How have you been? Has your DNA turned up anything for you?
