I have Finks ancestry and I, too, noticed that Finks aren't included in the "later come" 2nd Colony "official" Germanna list. I miseed John Blankenbaker's seminar at the Conference on who belongs to the 2nd Colony (as I assume you did, Kathleen!) but maybe John will enlighten us because I know he is well aware of this family.
