Yes, he is my 9th great grandfather.  I have some info on him and also the book from the Great Migration that he is in.  He is also my husbands 9th ggrandfather.  Where do you come in on the Knapp line?

Howdy Al, glad to see you here.  Susi

Hi

hopefully I can add to any conversations but I was born in England.

Actually, Dawson is my married name...I haven't actually started on my husband's genealogy yet. Still working on mine. My maiden name is Guinty. My husband's name is George Dawson, from California. We live in Reno, Nv. Nice to meet you, Al!

Al,

My Beach line begins in the USA with Connecticut and the three brothers that came from England and can be traced back to the knights of old. Have a cousin Ph.D that I work with. Cousin Horace believes we trace back to the name De Le Beche. Believe he is right. We may be able to help each other.

Nope, Bonham-Carter from Surrey/Kent area.

Hi Al and thanks for the friendship. I recently deleted several Squidoo pages... which one were you looking for?

My wife's PURDY line went back and forth between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Canada and Yonkers Westchester, New York. any coneection?

Hi Al,

the Mossop in my tree comes from Lancashire, England

Hi CUZ.  Thank you for inviting me as a friend. Now I not only have you as a Wakefield CUZ but could have you as a Barnes CUZ too as my mother's grandmother was a Barnes and my father's grandmother was also a Barnes...  I can't find any connection (thank goodness, otherwise I would have to admit that is why I am the way I am)!!!!

My mother's Barnes line hits a brick wall at her Father, Milburn C. (Believe it is Charles) Barnes born 1718 in VA... but the town is not known, therefore back then it could have been West Virginia as that boundary was changed over time.  My dad's grandmother  Barnes is Olive Hill Small 1857-1944 Born Long Lake, Hennepin, MN, who married Shepard Blanchard Barnes 1819- 1898 born Kingfield, Franklin, Maine, his father was Nathanial B. Barnes 1773-1851 born Lee Penobscot, Maine, and his father was Nathanial Barnes 1742 in Harpswell, Maine. then his father Nathanial (DUH) born in Ireland.  So, if I could find out more about my mother's Barnes we would have a better idea if we are also related in the Barnes group....but we both have Barnes and Wakefield,  What a hoot!   CUZ Molly

This is getting a bit spooky because I am also related to Herman Husband who is my 4th Great Grandfather and he was instrumental with being one of the "Farmers"  starting the Battle of Alamance....  Some people say it was the beginning of the American Revolution.  He lived in North Carolina and has quite the story connected with him after he left North Carolina and headed to Pennsylvania.  I just love his story... do you know anything about that?

Sorry to hear about the health problems you have been undergoing. You sure so write fast... Guess it is because I have the Super Bowl on now but thinking about turning it off.   Poor San Francisco.... gotta hope a West Coast team wins...

Thank you for the information on FGS.  I was hoping to get more training in Genealogy this year, either in my personal time or by attending conferences.  I will see what I can do about making the trip.  My Taylor and Smith line starts somewhere in Pennsylvania or New England, with no trace to Europe.  They may have come from Europe to US or from Europe to Canada to US. However, all my ties to the Northern European ancestry is from the early Colonial times, when many of the families from Europe migrated into the US.  It is hard to trace the lineage back to Europe since that was around 1600-1700 already.!!

However from DNA testing, I matched with someone who originated from Ireland.!!

One, Dick Shea wrote: Jim and I have common ancestors who lived in Co. Kerry, Ireland.  The surnames are: Shea; Richardson; Moloney; Herbert; and Eagar.  Our ancestors lived in several different locations in Kerry, namely Kenmare, Killarney, Tralee, Duagh, and Listowel. Also they are tied with Smith who moved to England.

I'm still working on Jefferson and Harden Williams and the Rouse/Dawson connection.  Few documents are surfacing for that early time period.

Hi, Sorry, no Dawsons in Michigan or Canada. We're all Southerners. —Jill

No Al,  my Dawsons are in Australia and before that they came from Lincolnshire in England (Corby near Grantham)

No. It is a very common name though so a blanket shout out probably isn't going to do you much good. Good Luck

No, mine are in the north of England.

most of my Frazee.s lived in Iowa  But my 5th Great grandfather was born in  New Jersey,and my 4th Great Grand parent were Jousha Frazee and Nancy reed and they where married in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania

No Dawson in the places you mentioned.

Nope, Bonham-Carter from Kent.

"Are your TAYLORs from Ontario? Do any have HADDON as a middle name?"

Hi Al. No, the Taylors I am connected to are in Nova Scotia and it is only by marriage.

Tried to answer your facebook msg - darn thing's on the fritz!

Ah well. At least this system works!

Hi Al, Newark is about 30 minutes from Paterson, so it's in the same area.  Thanks for adding me to your friends list. ~Jan
