Roger, This is a very large family with 38 grooms in the marriage records - this particular person probably married after 1860 which is the upper limit of the index. There is also a possible alternate spelling in distribution of estate accounts of SHENK. There are some SHANK estates - but the upper limit of this index is 1835 - we have too large a time/information gap to chain anything. Lauren RogerCubs@aol.com wrote: >Descendants of Otho W.
