Hello from Alabama

[RobinKay]

Yep, my dad was a foreigner. He lived 20 miles from mom, and rode his bike to "court her."
I spent a year on ancestry research and found a connection to the two families about five generations back. So, I often kid around with them and tell them their cousins and they "inbred" me.

And people think I'm joking ...

Do you have any kin among the Cash, Freeman, Burns, Danciu, Bishop, Lewis, Wallace, Hammond, or Gregory families? I can dig up more names, but those are the main ones.

[RobinKay]

I'm thinking yes on Bishop, Wallace, Lewis, and Hammond. Small world,..hee hee

Off topic question,
How do I donate to the forum?

[W.Lynn]

I thought you looked more like mom's side, that's where I get the Lewis, Hammond, and Bishop lines. Amazingly enough, your nose looks more like dad's family, the Cash, Wallace, and Freeman lines. I think you might be a distant cousin two or three ways.

We haven't started any donation methods, though some of us have mentioned the possibility.

How far back have you gone? I had DNA at two different places that confirmed Lady Mary Boleyn as one of my great grandma's, and Pocohontas (Rebecca Rolfe).
I have two grandparents who came on the first Mayflower voyage and signed the Mayflower compact (So we're Mayflower Society), then, they swooped south and east, and multiplied like bunnies

Sounds like you guys both have family tree's with one branch

[W.Lynn]

Nope, but the trees are too close together and the branches get tangled.
