Sorry it took me so long to get back to you!This is very interesting stuff!I'm a complete novice--how can you tell that this family is the right one?We knew our grandfather as John, not Jonathan (Jno.), and my dad was John William, Jr, so I wouldn't think my grandfather went by a name other than his birth name...or maybe John was born later?My grandfather died around 1949-50, but I don't know how old he was...7 years older than my grandmother, but I don't know how old SHE was....Grandma said that there were 3 John Kirks and the first one had floated down the Ohio river from Pittsburgh on a raft.Do you know how I could use this information (assuming it's true) to check records?Like I say, I'm totally new at this!
Thanks again,
Aileen
