Great News! Perhaps the most useful purpose for this website is to bring like-minded folks together. For this and many other reasons I sincerely thank all of you who have contributed to this project. It has always been my hope that through this website I could find some relatives who didn't know they were lost . My expectations have been more than filled. I'm pleased to share names of kin who were there all the time, but I didn't know it.

Kimberly Davis Comment: What a delightful site...it's just wonderful. I'm an Adams searcher, but I'm afraid it might be an entirely different line. I'll have to do some more checking. Thank you for all that effort you put into making this site - it's appreciated!
Philip Gordon Comment: Your site is very nice, however, I was looking for Gordons from Leadmore, Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland. They settled in New York State and in California.
