Jan, You should contact your cousin Kathy Behling <kbehling@uswest.net>. She descends from this same Bezaleel-7 WHITNEY (Charles-6, Aaron-5, Moses-4, Moses-3, Richard-2, John-1). I recommend you visit the Whitney Research Group website at <http://www.whitneygen.org/home2.html>. There you'll find quite a bit of information on these people, especially from Bezaleel backwards. Thanks for the descendant information, which we will gladly add to our files!
