In order to do research for you, it would be helpful to have a COPY of family group charts, census records and other pertinent information about your ancestors’ families including variant spellings. Details such as occupation, religion, membership in societies and civic offices would help to pinpoint your family. Please tell me what you have already tried, so I will not duplicate that research.
