My family has extensive records of Geneology since most of my ancestors lines have been here in US since 1600’s. Most were big farm land owners and patriots that have been here for long time. And most of those sons and daughters tended to marry into the various big families that were in the area.
Besides my Geneology records that we have, I have been able to confirm through DNA match’s these record connections.
Most all of my Dad’s side of the family came from the farm lands in Pennsylvania. Schooly’s; McCormick’s; Hunter’s; Oakes; etc.
Looks like we are related...mccormicks here too along with Finleys...polly and John. Small world.
