If I had his address in England I'd fly over and knock on his front door - maybe even huff and puff until... The likelihood of a Most Recent Ancestor Match is two generations before my provable ancestry. If my theory about 5 previous generations is accurate I should be able to find his ancestors where my probable ancestors probably were around 1700 - give or take 20 years. I find them exactly where they should be. That doesn't prove my theory, it merely enforces it. Now am I a Wollard or is he a Sullivan - which lady accidently got in the wrong bed one night? Or was it comparative lab work so to speak? I have concluded that almost anyone can trace back to my gg grenafather so that doesn't interest me very much - it's copy work. My interest is going where no one has gone before - where can I go based on indisputable logic. Or how long do I have to wait until someone proves me wrong? Hugh [email protected] (J. Hugh Sullivan)
