Answer 1

Wow, that's a surprise.  I wasn't aware I was that close to 100,000.   Thank you for the congratulations. Unfortunately, I'm not as active due to other circumstances in my life.  I would love to return when time permits  and participate more and/or join a project.

Answer 2

Congratulations on getting your wings James!

Comments

Thank you Luther.  I had no idea I was that close to getting wings.

Answer 3

Congratulations Cousin! (10th Cousin) Report directly to hanger 3 to be briefed on your new plane!

Comments

I see that.  10th cousins through my Thomas - Knott line.  One of my most favorite things is to find how we connect.   On my way to pick up my new plane!

BTW..I do have an Elizabeth Draper b. 1641 from Maryland as a direct ancestor.  She married William Hargis.

---

We can't prove a connection to Elizabeth Hargis. We can't prove with sources who my 6th great grandfather's parents were. That puts us at @1690 Farnham, Virginia. He was Thomas Draper married to Sarah Toone. That is our brick wall. Plenty of candidates...no proof!

---

I know that feeling too well.  Like many genealogists there is always missing records especially with ones we need the most verification on.  My Hargis/Draper appear to be from the Westmoreland, VA area.
