To each of the people listed below THANK YOU!!

Without generous help from each of you, I would never have found so much information.  To everyone who has helped me, and who I don't have listed here, please let me know, as there are hundreds of people that have provided so many facts, and I owe you each a debt of gratitude.  I'm sure this list will grow as I add to it, so check back often if you fail to see your name.  Hopefully, I'll actually meet all of you in person, as many are just distant cousins from online.

This page is to acknowledge your help and the information you have sent me.  Hopefully, nothing on my pages is your direct work, and if so please tell me, and I'll put a clear note at that location.  I try to always clearly state what information is my research, and what is the research of others.  I'd never take credit for your work, just as I would never expect you to take credit for mine.

If you have links to our mutual ancestors that I don't have posted on my site, please let me know.  That is the easiest way to share information!

I've organized names by the surname or location that was most prominent in our mutual searches.  I probably won't list anyone twice, even though you've helped in several areas.
