We've been searching for you for some time now. Please join the Tryon discussion list at TRYON-L@rootsweb.com I'm sure you'll be happy to discover a bunch of genealogists concentrating on the Tryon family. We soon will have a web page up as well. Watch for the announcement. Now to the Tryons - no, the Benjamin Coxsackie family does not (yet) connect to the CT Tryons. I'm sure I speak for all when I say we would be happy to consolidate all Tryon data, including yours, of course. I have some of your previous work, which Don Tryon passed on to me. Vicki Titus in particular will be wanting to talk to you. She is chasing the same branch, only from the Michigan clan trailing back to New York. Please stay in touch. I have posted your mail on the TRYON-L mail list, and have forwarded to to Vicki and Don as well. Welcome! Dan
