Hi to all; I hope someone out there has heard of either of these WEST families. We have two different WEST families in our family and they are not related. They each married into our family through different sides of the family tree.I'm going to put all we know about each one. If anyone has heard anything about either of them please contact me.!! I can't find out any more and have been stuck here for several years. We would appreciate any help, THANKS! WEST family 1 Descendants of John West Generation No. 1 1.
