My Ancestors 

 

 

The following are the earliest known ancestors in each of my lines, a.k.a. my "brickwalls".  If you share any of these ancestors with me, please feel free to contact me.  I would love to share information with any "cousins".  I have not had the time to research all of these lines fully, so you may be able to share some information with me as well!  On some of these lines, I have relied on secondary information and have not yet been able to confirm the information through primary documents.
