Hello Carol, I don't have any information about your Kane Co. ancestors, but I'm interested in your Jewell ancestors in NY and PA. Our direct Jewell family came from Otsego Co., NY, but I have an extensive database of relatives throughout the area. I look forward to sharing information with you. Art Burch p.s. I may also have info for some of your other surnames. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Houghton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 19, 2000 6:02 AM Subject: [ILKANE] Matthewson/Johnson > Hello List > > I thought I would post what I know of my family from Blackberry Twp and see > if by chance anyone can tell me anything about them. > > George C.
