    Any ideas on the reasons for migration? Lineage groups by their nature create positive and negative impressions. Also, people join for different reasons. I fit better when I joined and hopefully that will comeback with time.

    Towns in Germany- Oberfranken (1682 birth, apparently), Windberg, Krefeld, & Kaldenkirchen.

    What denomination of church?

    Any ideas on making lineage groups palatable for more people? I've tried to address it in the SAR and some change has occurred. I don't know which variables are barriers for which people, but interest would be one that may be easiest to address. I don't want this to get too long & drawn out, but perhaps new outside ideas to bring in would help.

    Joel,

    Thanks for your help. . I am planning to spend some time in Salisbury NC on Wednesday to see what else I can find there on land transactions and other activity to better pin down when Henry Cooper arrived in Rowan Co NC , and then will also be in Delaware the following week.
