Hi Mary Ellen, In response to your request for FOSTER information, I am sending this information. Is there any chance of connecting this line of FOSTER to the lines in L.I.? Gladys BRUNS is my Aunt,on my father's side; but I never knew the family, since my parents divorced. Her mother was Bertha EDWARDS, and I have obtained much EDWARDS related information. I realize that there was a lot of intermarrying amongst the lines in NY and was hoping to connect FOSTERS to their lines. Descendants of James Foster, Jr. Generation No. 1 1. JAMES1 FOSTER, JR. was born 1898 in NY1. He married ELIZABETH GLADYS BRUNS, daughter of FRANKLYN BRUNS and BERTHA EDWARDS. She was born October 27, 1898 in Southampton, Suffolk Co. NY2.
