My great-grandmother was Birdie Drake and I have traced her to the Archibald Drake who died in Vinton Co, Ohio. Do you know who Archibald Drake's father was? My birth mother says we're related to Sir Francis Drake, but my search has stalled at Archibald. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
