WOW! Thanks, JR and Maria for all the info. Unfortunately, nothing came across in red on my end of your email, Maria, so I’m not sure what you wanted me to know. I would love to have more information on this line but especially if the surname changes as we go further back in time so let’s compare notes. I’d be happy to supply you with descendants of which I am one.
Thanks again!
