I doubt that we're related, but I have talked to Ray and Leroy via email. My family came from Alsace-Lorainne in the 1700s and settled in Reading and Virginia. I trace to John Turner Haas in Woodstock, Virginia, as well as David Isaac and Irvin, Walker, Gillock, Grove and Hoffman in the Shenandoah Valley. Good luck with the reunion.
