I am still amazed that all 20,000 REAVIS names in Barbs > database and in the USA can be traced back to this one individual. There are two or three other of Reavis researchers that have near as much as I. My database was limited to just the first 9 generations of each line; but this past year we have made so much progress have some down to 12 generations, as in my family. I also have a misc family file, of those not yet connected; but I have no doubt, that I will connect them eventually. What I am saying, there is none that I have found, that do not seem to be frm Edward-1! We had two family lines going, abt 4-5 generations, and lo and behold we connected them! Had no idea, until we found the name Filmore; Amazing. That is why this Reavis/Revis research is such a challenge, it is just a big puzzle, every piece fits! I am contacted by families all over the US, and consequently have great data to work with. *Barb
