I agree with Ray. To split the Taylor's would not be a good idea. Before there was the Midwest and west, there was New England and the South. Your Taylor's came from these regions originally more than likely. We all have to weed through e-mails hoping to find a connection, but that is our choice, since we decided to join this list. It would be a shame to have to subscribe to another list for a particular name. Some of us, (that is why we are here) do not know where some of the family's settled after they moved away from home. I know my Taylor line started in Connecticut, to North Carolina, to Virginia, to Tennessee, to Kentucky. My grandfather had 16 kids. I have no idea where the most of them went. It would be ignorant of me to assume they stayed in Kentucky. Karen I am still looking for information on my grandfather's family: Here is what I have on my Ambrose Taylor. It is very confusing. First let me tell you what we have been told on certain things, and some of the records we have obtained is conflicting also. Ambrose Christopher Taylor b April 24, 1853, Connecticut, d May 30, 1921,Hindman, KY. Some records also have Christopher Ambrose Taylor. Ambrose's death certificate says father's name is William Taylor b in VA, mothers name Susan Bowman b Va. Other records also say his name was Ambrose (this is what my father had also been told.)
