The Comfort Family and Its Connection to the Delaney, Acker and McFadden Family Lines

Comfort

The somewhat distant connection between the Comfort line and my Delaney and Acker roots is through Helen Edson (McFadden) Comfort, my first cousin twice removed, and her son, George Francis Comfort, my second cousin once removed. Helen E. McFadden was the daughter of my great-grandaunt, Anne Laura Acker, who married Stephen Henry McFadden. In 1919, Helen married Roland M. Comfort, thereby creating the linkage between the Comfort line and my Delaney line.

At this point, I have done very little research on the Comfort line. Thus, the index below is very sparse. When stories, documents, pictures and other items are made available on this site, I note them on my "What's New?" page for readers who wish to keep up with new information as it becomes available. Also, photographs - individual and group - can be accessed via the Photograph Index.


Index to Comfort Families & Allied Lines

Marriage of female members of a Comfort-surnamed family results, of course, in a branching and continuation of the Comfort lineage through the allied surnames. Readers interested pursuing the Comfort lineage through the allied lines can do so via the links in the "Allied Line" column or the "Children" column of this table. Allied surname stories and information can also be reached from the Surnames Index.
