Bev, Your ancestor was Barbara Ruckle Heck's brother Daniel Ruckle wasn't he? And you are descended from his son George of Adare, and in turn his son, Henry, is that correct? What a great history your family has. There is that wonderful book written by Wayne Bittinger on your ancestors complete with pictures. I have a copy and I just love the book. I think you said you have a copy too in one of your emails. In fact you may have been the one to lead me to the book. Thanks to everyone in the family line of George of Adare for all the information and pictures you have shared over the years with me. I treasure it all. I have a lot of information on the offspring of George of Adare, but the expert on that family line is Karen Opgenorth of California. She has sent me a lot of information and continues to search constantly for new contacts and new information. I am always amazed at how she can make the connections and put things together. I usually send her stuff I find and she usually can connect it right up. We can really get hooked on genealogy but isn't it fun. And we get to meet a lot of new people and go to a lot of different places. We spend a lot of time in cemeteries too, I have a lot of people to thank for the information I have because with out us helping each other a lot of information would be lost. Have a wonderful day Bev. and I look forward to hearing from you again. Carole
