As the year comes to an end, I always like to look over whether the previous year brought anything significant to my research. If you would like to tell us abt any progress you have made even unrelated to this county, I think it would be a boost as we look to our next year of ancestor hunting. As for me, nothing in Tyler County, but that I would shout to the rooftops. I did find some possibilities on a couple of other lines. The last couple of weeks I have developed some strong ideas on the parents or at least birthplace of my Fanny Combs who was in NY but born in CT in 1788. I am pretty sure I have found her sister, which got me to concentrating my search in the neighboring county. I found the same first names of Oliver and Solomon in both Oneida Co NY and in Hartford Co., CT. This is still in the maybe stage, but at least I am still hopeful. BTW, I have seen that there were Combs in WVA. They are heavily in KY so I have only found one person who is researching them where I am. I like to look back and think the last year has at least provided some leads or new ways of thinking abt an ancestor. Anyone else??? Happy Holidays!
