[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 354378, member: 4040"] I was fortunate to find one of my cousins was the director of the Genealogy library at a major university, and he was required to trace the family. I had only been able to trace back to my grandfather's (Dad's father) grandfather (have a copy of his Civil War discharge paperwork), but Cousin L. was able to go several generations back, and was nice enough to send me a copy of the info. My dad's mother's family seemed to move back and forth between Michigan and Ontario, except for our branch, who went from Nebraska to CA. The standard line while I was growing up was, "If it's R...., we're related!" Similar to your last name, I imagine, Janet. My mom's father's family is a huge mystery. Her dad's folks came from Nova Scotia, and when we started the search, we discovered that the maiden name on Carrie's (grandfather's mother) death certificate did not match any records anywhere. Apparently she and her mother lived with another family, and that was the last name Carrie used while growing up. Which leaves open the question...who was her father? No clue. [/QUOTE]
