Linda, I have contacted Richard of kit #88445. I found out that his great grand father ( I think) was brother to my Great grandfather. so his grand father was my 2nd great uncle. Thomas was my great grandfather and his grandfather was John Cornelius. I will need to dive into your email and see where you fallout in my infomarion that I have. Look at this large PDF.
