Longshore Research
I wanted to call attention to the answers Barbara and I gave Linka below. They are in messages 253 and 254. Barbara's answer is better than mine and more thorough. The great thing about the Internet for me has been to find others here in the forum who are 1) doing Longshore research but also 2) those who are more closely related cousins. My immediate family is small but my family of cousins is growning.
One of the purposes of a forum like this is-- "I have..... what do you have about this person? Or does anyone know about.....? My older family is all dead. It's exciting to hear someone like Linka say, "I have an aunt that remembers......"
My Longshores went west from Pennsylvania. From people like Jeff Sauls and others I realize that a large group also went south. Good hunting folks!
