It is like all the other lines that I am starting to link to. No one know about them. It seen when my direct line left it lost contact with everyone after them, so when the research was done. No one knew that we existed from any line. Glad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!to meet a new cousin. I would love to have the information. I got part of my information from LDS and some from the people on the different list, Summers, Raleigh, etc. and also from Genforum.
