Hi everyone, Many, Many thanks to everyone who responded with info and advise. Special Thanks to the following (I hope I didn't forget anyone as several helped) Erik; yes I knew that Tunes and Klinken were the same family even though I don't know why the drastic change and how sudden it happened. Thank you for your info. Howard Patterson: Thank you for all the advise and sources to check Howard Swain: Thank you for your advice and it is a point well taken to start on one end and work back. I guess I was just lucky enough to find where my surname came from (something my dad went to his death wondering about) that I started way back there and have spent a lot of time tracking a wrong branch. It is a learning process but I know more now and have learned valuable and interesting things anyhow. Dixie, Thank you for your info and I did track a branch of Tunes/Tennis's from the original Abraham that did travel south to Covington Ky. Along that line there was a William that was Born in 1740 and he married a Mary Wilson. There were alot of kids involved in this move so maybe they branched to TN, Who knows, I will gladly share what I have with you Sandy, Glad to meet you and Thank you for your info, I tracked your line and it headed south, Mine apparently moved accross PA from Towamencin County to Beaver Co. and then to Iowa. I believe I have both ends and am working to hook them up in the middle. It is great to belong to this list and am looking forward to reading everything and learning.
