This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Van Couwenhoven, Conover, Kane, Herrman, Hoover, Young Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/FO.2ADI/201.1.1 Message Board Post: I didn't list any of my genealogy because I'm not sure what to put in. Examples: my Dutch ancestry (which I thought might be involved) begins with the person who came to America in 1625 - Van Couwenhoven. It's hard to know if and where the connection may have occured. Like maybe one of that persons descendants may have married a Mayflower descendant - but at what point did that happen? Sorry if I sound like an amateur - I am. Thanks for replying.
