I ran across your posts and I'm wondering if your husband's line and mine might cross. My line includes a John Shimp & Rachel DeHaven; their son Isaac Shimp married Sarah Shutts; their daughter Rachel Ann married John Leroy Jewell...etc. The line goes all the way back to a Johann Jacob Schimpf & Christinia Mayer, but I haven't found any solid resources to back it up. Would love to hear what you've found, if this is even related to your hubby's shimps :o) Thanks, Wendi
