If you live in PA, I would hazard the guess that you are decended from the Spink family that came to the US and setteled in New York when it was still a colony. Donetta and I are decended from the Spink family that came from Hull, England, in 1850 and settled in Davenport, Iowa. His name was Henry Spink, and the family eventually branched out to CA, FL, and VA. I have the feeling that if we are related, it would be through family connections back in Yorkshire, England, where the city of Hull is located. Thanks for writing! Barry
