Surnames: Adams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AYB.2ACE/225.1 Message Board Post: I am researching a Harman J. Adams b. abt 1829 in Germany, immigrated about 1836 to USA with his family. He was married to Eliza Holt in 1851, Muskingum, OH. Children's names are Anna, Edward, Martin Albert, Rosina, Una Belle, and John Harman Adams. Because of the name similarities I am wondering if there is a connection with your John and Malinda Adams.....was your John born in Germany??? Do you know more about him? Janet Arizona
