Hello there,
First, I would just like to say thank you to everyone contributing to this site and I hope that people continue to do so. I have very little information about anyone else in my family's line except what I have gleaned myself through research, and I would like that to change, if at all possible. I am going to post a line of ancestry, and if anyone is related, please feel free to respond here or email me (jimv1.3@gmail.com).
