I just joined your group as I believe I am a decendant of one of the "original 13". I am just starting this genealogy thing so bare with me. Abraham Tunes was one of the original 13 and I found some valuable info if anyone is interested in tracking his linage. Maybe it is old news to you folks but thought I would share it. I found it on Rootsweb.com. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dynamo53/tunis.htm explains how Tunes was later changed to Tennis and that is my last name. I started with this info and tracked the Tennis's accross PA and into Iowa where I was born. I am missing a couple of links in the middle but if I can connect I will be able to go 16 generations back to Abraham Tunes. Like I said I have just started but am stubborn and can use any help that I can get. My dad died not knowing where the Tennis's came from and I have set out to find the truth. If this is reliable (I believe it is) then I at least answered that question. Glad to be part of your group a! nd will take any suggestions that are offered as I want to finish up before my last Uncle passes on. Looking forward to hearing from any of you.
