Hello, During all of the 1950's, etc., I went to school with a boy.   We shared the same last name.    I knew him on and off until the 1990's, mostly through our high-school reunions.   He was never interested in his family-tree.   I've been researching my family-tree for 20 yrs., but I couldn't try to find out if this boy and I were "distantly related."   I just found out this .man.  just "passed."  Because of his obituary, I now know his father's first name, and his grandfather had the same first name.   So, I'm going to try to find out about his ancestors.    We grew up in Arlington, MA, and I found out there was a  Horace E. LEWIS in Arlington ~1900.   I'd like to find out if anyone is researching him.    This is a census page I just found at  www.familysearch.org   | Name: | Horace A Lewis | | Event Type: | Census | | Event Year: | 1900 | | Event Place: | Arlington town (northwest part), Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States | | Gender: | Male | | Age: | 22 | | Marital Status: | Single | | Race: | White | | Race (Original): | W | | Relationship to Head of Household: | Son | | Relationship to Head of Household (Original): | Son | | Birth Date: | Jul 1878 | | Birthplace: | Massachusetts | | Father's Birthplace: | Massachusetts | | Mother's Birthplace: | Massachusetts | | Household | Role | Gender | Age | Birthplace | | Josephine T Lewis | Head | F | 50 | Massachusetts | | Ida F Lewis | Daughter | F | 11 | Massachusetts | | Horace A Lewis | Son | M | 22 | Massachusetts | | Edward C Lewis | Son | M | 20 | Massachusetts | | George F Reed | Boarder | M | 39 | New Hampshire | District: 660 , Sheet Number and Letter: 21A , Household ID: 366 , Line Number: 14 , Betty              (near Lowell, MA) List Administrator
