I found the following post on soc.genealogy.medieval today. Does anyone know how these Flemings connect to the Barons of Slane? Also, my Fleming ancestor is a Mary Fleming who married William Goss c.1700 prob. in VA. I know nothing else about her. Does anyone know anything about her? ----START---- At 04:00 PM 8/23/98 -0700, you wrote: >I'm trying to link together some four Lords Fleming I have un attached >in my db: > Dear Ed, Here is my contribution to your request.
