My mother and a number of her cousins spent 8 to 10 years researching their family back to Harmon Bach (relative of Johann) arriving in Virginia approx 1638 from Freudenberg Germany. Someone typed it all up in type set software (1980's before WYSIWYG). Another cousin with a printing business printed the two volume 1900+ page result. Long story short, if you are from Breathitt County, or Magoffin County, we're probably kin...
My father's family, on the other hand, we think they got off the boat from England in the 1830's and immigrated to "Porkopolis" (Cincinnati) because they were butchers by trade. No clue regarding point of origin in the U.K. Only that they landed on the south side of Cincinnati...
