Oh what fun! I've got my Taylors back to early 1700's and most of the maternal lines all go back to England . My mothers family is also predominantly english with some of them have come to England from Normandy. I'd be happy and proud to find a frenchman or indian or whatever.

Hi Don, If you are serious about having your Taylor line back to 1700's and Normady, we may have the same lines, except mine is back to 1056 England and a Norman Baron. Mary
