Hi there list members - my name is Ken colby46@mindspring.com - I am the new kid on the block I have traced my mother's side of the family back to German Flats - Herkimer County New York. When I was a young boy I had to do a paper in school on the "Drums along the Mohawk" which became a great movie by John Ford. My grandfather told me he did not know much about that story except our family took part in the real one. Hi-HI - I thought - just one of those stories that granddaddy like to tell. Until now. WOW he was right. Our ancestor is John Stephen Frank he did serve in the Revolutionary War and got a pension. Now I am trying to find out who his parents are ? If anyone on this list can help I would be most THANKFUL. HAVE A GREAT-DAY
