lento replied to Shirley Vreeland's discussion England Hunts who came to US 1845 in the group England (English) Genealogy"Hi, Shirley,
I have to admit I'm not clear what you are looking for. Is it the connection to the next generation back? What happened with the siblings? Verifying the information you already have? Each of these is a defined goal. I think it…"
Shirley Vreeland replied to Shirley Vreeland's discussion The Hunts of England/ 1800's in the group Brickwalls"I guess It's not really a brick wall when one has the ways to search other than the FREE ways.

- I'm fortunate enough to have a Genealogy Center right here in Jonesville and I introduced myself. They were very helpful to me, and patient. We managed to find a couple of facts that fit and I'm excited to see if I find information I need on this 1st microfilm I've ordered from Church records from Navenby, England. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Beginning the new yr., I'll put out some money for searching. It ought to be an interesting year.
