Surnames: Edwards, Bruns, Rattray, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jUB.2ACI/20.1 Message Board Post: Hello, My grandmother was Bertha Edwards b. 1874, to I believe Joseph Edwards and Elizabeth O'Neil(l). Elizabeth O'Neil is said to be buried at Trinity Church in NYC, near the 9/11 twin towers. Their daughter, Bertha Jagger Edwards married my grandfather, Franklin Bruns bef. 1898, and they had four children, including my father, Carl N. Bruns. Earlier Bruns researchers reported about the Edwards information which is in the Jeannette Edwards Rattray book, E. Hampton History Including Early Family Country Life Press, Garden City, NY, 1953. Have you heard of it, or any of the names that I mention? Apparently "our Edwards" are related to the Edwards of E. Hampton, NY. Do you have any info. Glad to share anything that I have.
