Looking for some advise on 2 familes but I will write in separate e-mails... Fisrt - Batten's of Bareneed......Our Batten's apparently connect up with Isaac Batten and Elizabeth Dawe/Dore who came and bought land at Bareneed abt. 1816 and there they prospered...I say were supposedly connected but it seems I'm missing a generation!......Our Gr-grandfather was Joseph Batten , born Bareneed married to Emmeline Patience Richards , daughter of John Richards...I have it that Joseph was the son of the above Isaac and Elizabeth however the dates are way off and I don't think it's possible. So if we are connected to that Isaac and Elizabeth , what son of their's would be father to Joseph???? That would be the generation I'm missing.....Does anyone have any ideas on this particular Batten famil as there are so many from that area... Any ideas or advise would be well appreciated! Thaks Ann { MacDonald } Batten Alberta
