Love rootsweb -- response has been terrific for my Barnes line. Hope this one will be as beneficial. Researching specifically my ancestor Alexander Patterson, born in Scotland abt 1799, died in Grand Rapids, Kent Co, MI 1885. Anyone having any tie to this man please contact me at rootsweb, or at [email protected] Thanks so much. Keep up all the searching. It is really worth it. Been at it for over forty years and love every minute of it. Incidentally, have lots of info on families in Floyd and Pike Co, KY if anyone is interested. Sylvia G
