Surnames: Barnes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HZB.2ACI/808.1.1 Message Board Post: I am not sure if your george Barnes is related to the Barnes family that I am researching. If he is, he could be Lester Barnes' son. That is one Barnes we have found little information on. We believe Lester Barnes was born about 1814 in New York. Have you found a census for George that would show where his parents were born? I do know that there were several Barnes in Medina at that time but our family would have already left Medina Ohio by that time. I will keep his name in mind and if I run across anything I will let you know!!
