My interest is back to the 1850 census people with Christiana (Miller) Singer!Does this Singer family belong to any of you Singer researchers out there?I belive that Christiana Singer is a sister of David Seal Miller (1850 census info given above) and that David Seal Miller and wife Catharine are the parents of Abigail Bretz.
Does anyone know??????
Thank you.
