Hi, Paul, Thank you for your very gracious offer. I hope that other McCann researchers will be able to benefit from your offer. My American roots were put down a bit further south, in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. I do have a Meshach JAMES b. 1686-1720, possibly in Chester, PA whose ancestry is unknown. I doubt that he or his ancestors came from New England, but it would be helpful if you could check for such a person. >When we can extend the family genealogy for Mary Ann McCann, I will >post our finding to the list for future generations of >researcher. Readers may also find my research at the LDS FamilySerach Site. Thank you, Paul, that will be most helpful. Best regards, Jane
