If I knew who came over first, I could probably tie them in somewhare either in U.S. or overseas. But I don't have ship name or date, and as you know, when you get into the 1600s there isn't a lot to search. I haven't given up and won't give up, so if I live long enough maybe I will solve it. I hesitate to send you the spreadsheet as by going to this list Ancestor.com can take and sell it to whomever may be interested. I am not interested in contributing to them, and them selling the information. They have some of my family and probably every other genealogist's family information on their site and MUCH of it is incorrect. Sorry, but that's just the way I feel. Verna
