Perhaps you are right in assuming it might be a "virgin" application. Yes, it was a typo with the Churchman/Cushman name. Thanks so much to all for your input and help.

And Plymouth has said, no. Perhaps they should have said No, and its because its Anna CHURCHMAN and not Anna Cushman, so its incorrect to begin with--unless that's a typo on your part in the email. Follow Dale's suggestion and jot down next to the names the correct SB volumes and page numbers just so you are sure. If it was a typo re Churchman/Cushman, then Plymouth has told you that for your entire line, no, no one else has applied so "no lineage papers". Its a "virgin" application. At least this is how I read your query.Robert M. GerrityYANKEE ANCESTRYP. O.
