Still trying to connect with anyone who might know of my Fred Parks born C 1801 somewhere in CT. He married a lady named Lucy c 1825 and spent a bit of time in New York before finally settling in Iowa. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kell/fparks.html is what I know and source documentation thereof. I have hints his father was Aaron, or hints his wife was of the Van Ostrander family. Would love to hear from anyone on this GENEALOGY related topic. Lets try to keep this list alive without the garbage we've seen in the last few days. Kelly in RI
