I descend from Owen's son Andrew Meehan and Mary Margaret Campbell -&rt;Jane "Jennie" Meehan VanSlyke-&rt; Lillian VanSlyke Murray-&rt;Mary Jane "Jennie" Murray Bzoskie was my grandmother. Would love to hear from descendants of the brothers especially if they've taken a DNA test. Would like to compare results and notes.

The new website is a braw effort. Thank you for what you ha'e accomplished. Your update finally provided me with the previously elusive Scottish connection. I've emailed you with a photograph showing four generations of my White-Fraid-Young-Stewart grandmothers. I enjoyed the privilege of visiting my Grandmother Lillian Fraid-Browne-Seidl-Swaningson as well as my Great-Grandmother Madeline White-Fraid though the early years of my active service. Your genealogical research has buoyed me for more than a decade. Thank you.

I am researching my family tree - my great great grandfather was David Madill b 1808 in Ireland, married Jane Hamill. I can't trace the family back further than David - do you have any earlier information? I have heard "rumours" that the Madills, although they did spend quite some time in Ireland, are from somewhere else originally, perhaps northern England, France, or eastern Europe. I have used your Madill Family History Page, then dated 2012, that my son Matthew noticed after it was mentioned in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record (newspaper), and have found it invaluable, I have input the information from it into my Ancestry Family Tree.

Nice and interesting to read your pages! Google led me to your websites. I have several relatives in Northern Michigan, in the Saginaw-area. The origine of my family is located in Hassendorf and Worth between Hamburg and Bremen. Later they went to Freiburg (Elbe) and Glueckstadt (Elbe).
We have a coat if arms too - but diffently from yours. There a no common family members in our family.

I really enjoyed your website. I have additional lineage information on the Kressley family, the lineage on Bernard Kressley. If you are interested I can provide that information.

I have been sitting on this for such a long time as I was working on two NY lines. Now I am turning my attention to my PA lines and Brader is one of them. I am a direct descendant of Thomas and Mary Brader. I have narrowed Thomas' father to being most likely either George or Henry Brader. I think it is most likely that it is George because of the lack of number of children in general and the fact that the census year after George dies, an old woman is living with the newly found Thomas in the same city. I think it is likely that Thomas married and lived with his parents and his father then died and so he became head of the household. I am still unraveling it all but wanted to thank you for putting up such a helpful website.

Upon checking the stats for Catherine Kressley(daughter of Jesse,son of Bernhard), I noticed that one of Catherine and B.F. Hollenbach's children is missing. Their youngest, Mary Jane Hollenbach married Edgar Hamm and had many children with him. They lived near Kempton. Please add this to the facts. One of their other daughters. Tillie Hollenbach, married to Robert Reed, was my grandmother.

I just visited one of Mary Jane's children the other year; I think she is still alive.

Thank you! I received the mimeographed copy of Alexander Laughlin's family tree when my Grandmother, Ethel Pearl Miller passed away. She was married to Carmen Wellington Parks. My Dad is listed as adopted but family scuttlebutt says that he is the biological son of Carmen and Ethel. Has anyone been able to trace Alexander's family roots across the pond to Scotland? It si tuly amazing to see the size of the tree and how many cousins I have!

Hello. I tried emailing you but it would not go through. I found your posting of the Meehan family. I was hoping you could help me out. Bernard Meehan & Susan McHugh are my 3X great grandparents. I've always had Patrick Meehan and Mary O'Reilly as Bernard's parents. I noticed you have Owen Meehan and Ann Braddon as Bernard's parents. Can you please let me know how you came about this information?

We are having a family reunion this year and everyone is updating our "family tree". Trying to have the information as accurate as possible.

Thank you,
Terri

I came across your website but found it overwhelming with all the names and generations. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to contact you (which I attempted to, but it came back as undeliverable). I was wondering if you have any family connections with a Laughlin McLaughlin (1779-1881), he had a son named Samuel McLaughlin (1802-1869), a grandson named Charles McLaughlin (1836-1926) and a great grand-daughter named Lucretia McLaughlin (1883-1913). Lucretia is my Great, Great Grandmother. I have had a hard time connecting and verifying who Laughlin's parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc were. Thank you!!

Hi fellow Koontz (etc) family members,

My search has been off and on for many years now. I was pleasantly surprised to find that someone was seriously working on this family line.

I hope to submit my changes and additions to the author of this website in the indefinite future. Self-publishing is out of the question at this time.

Thank you to all you other researchers who afe filling in the blanks of my tree.
