My maternal grt. grandmother Cora Link and her sister Lena Link married 2 brothers. My maternal grandfather's grandmother Flora Link was their aunt. My maternal grt. uncle Jack Thompson(Flora's son) married his 2nd cousin,Ruby Link. Johan Nicholaus Lincke a Hessian soldier appears in my tree 8 times. This makes my tree branches *giggle* intertwined. But another part of this same branch, has summers marrying briley. briley marrying summers, summers marrying summers, and briley marrying briley whose mom's were summers. My point is when looking at a census record check at least 5 families before and after yours. They were neighbors, went to school and often church together and frequently intermarried. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
