Interesting. Thank you for posting your information. I had happened across this couple listed on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) . Back in November last year. I did not see them on rootsweb at the time. But did see another couple, William MILLS and Elizabeth BURNS, had six children MILLS. NO names, No places. Apparently, I did not check further, and now see that most of that person's database seems to be all of England? and Ireland. Must not have had on my glasses that evening. Thank you for sharing your tree with all. Pat cw DNA testing has been done on a couple MILLS males, present day, and seem to have ties to this area of the country. Not sure, if your John or Reuben might be listed on the _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) under MILLS DNA Project web site?? _http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~crrking/mills/mills_dnar.htm_ (http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~crrking/mills/mills_dnar.htm) go to DNA results page. Lists those ancestor names, dates, DNA markers/loci/numbers breakdown. Click on ancestor name and take to pedigree as submitted with DNA sample by male MILLS descendant/researcher. Is yours among them?? Again, just asking. In a message dated 9/14/2008 2:01:56 P.M.
