Unknown male born about 1848 (no additional information) 5. H. born about 1850 (no additional information) I will be more than happy to exchange additional information. TIA The roots of our family tree were planted deep in American soil. The trunk of the tree grew strong and it has many, many branches. Some branches are still bare and need your information. I will gladly exchange genealogy information with others. Please do not send me jokes, hoax warnings, chain letters, etc. My time on the computer is very limited.
