List Readers, I have a puzzle for you. I am totally lost on this one! One man who is showing up as a 3rd cousin to me on DNA has some Barry County family names listed. That might mean he has two or more families that he is related to me in several different ways. Hard to say! The other names he has - I have no idea about who they are or how they could be connected to any of my families. HOWEVER, that does not mean that they are not connected. I ran them through World Connect looking for clues but saw no familiar names listed by researchers. I did see a 175 year old man that had a child though and a woman who married at age 10. Sorry, I couldn't resist telling that! Shame on me! Not nice! Anyway, this family below was given in among his nine generations of families as ancestors that he posted in part in a DNA file, so I assume it is pretty accurate. I am asking for your help - since I know some of you descend from these families. _________________ He listed these surnames as his ancestral names. I can't find a connection to any of them - but could have, I guess.
