Bob :) I received your data Wednesday afternoon, and glanced through it. Seems like this week was a pretty busy one up until now, so I'll try to research some more on SAMUEL YOUNG. Seems like there are about four now with uncertain birthdays or parentage. Man, I'd certainly like to find a link that ties them into SAMUEL YOUNG born 1779 :) Have you any idea which church Samuel's family attended back around the 1820s? I looked through the Lutheran church records here in Middletown, but now have a few time frames to focus on. I'll keep trying other churches, if their records are available here. I seem to recall some reference to a Presbyterian Church, but don't know where ai saw it :( CEFies Bob Kellner wrote: > Dear Mr. Fies: > > I mailed your copies today.
