Patsy, Do you have a Weldon Snow in your family. That was one of my father's best friends. He would be in his seventies.

None of the couple Edwins in my family married a Harriet - sorry Bill French wcfrench@compuserve.com
To Bill French, My Edwin French lived in Canada in the 1860's with wife, Harriet Black. They had 2 children born there. Any connections to your Canadian Frenches? Linda W.
Unable at this time to make any connections with my James French(born 1816) in Kentucky.If I find any thing relevant, I will e-mail you with it.

Linda W. Checked but no Edwin Howard French. Several Edwin mostly from Canada tho. Bill French Houston TX
Lillian, I am not aware of any movement of the MA French's to Kentucky. I was born in Amesbury, MA and I have only tracked back through those in the French family (also Carr and True) who stayed in the general area (MA-NH). I imagine there must be some connection with the Camden/Lincolnville, ME French's and in VT, as I have a picture taken of my ggrandfather with my dad, taken from VT where they were visiting ??? somebody - perhaps a French relative!

TO Bill French- I am a public high school orchestra director by trade. I am generally not at home most nights of the year. Therefore, inquiries are best laid out and answered in the summer, under my time contraints. If you have inquiries of me or the work I have done on my "French line", please do not hesitate to ask. I, too, am interested in learning of others who may be related and what you have found in your research. Best wishes.
