Hello Cousin Pat!!! I am a more distant relative than you may have hoped for!! Sarah Forbes was the daughter of Sarah Haggertie and George Forbes. Sarah's brother William was my ggg grandfather. I have records of Sarah's ancestors back to the late 1600s if you are interested. Sarah Sr. also had a brother George Haggertie who lived in Mercer County. I believe he still has descendants in Mercer County. I have recently been communicating with another Sweesy descendant, Karen Kimball. Have you found her?? Karen has sent me her family line and I would be very interested in exchanging information with you as well. My web page gives some information on the Haggertie/Haggertys (URL below). I am currently working on a revision/update to the site. Looking forward to hearing from you!! At 05:42 PM 23/02/99 -0500, sweeze@isrv.com wrote: >Thought I'd add my surnames to the pile!!!
