Ken, thank you for the source for one of the Acadian Lavandiers. I've worked on that family several times and came up with nothing. Appreciate your contribution during the source a thon. If you have an interest in Acadians, there are other opportunities to work on them . . .

Hello, Ken. I've been informed that you've suspected that Perez S. Field (1811-) is the son of Daniel Field Jr. (bef.1782-1847). I've laid out a case for other parents in his profile. Would you please look it over and post your thoughts or let me know what you think?
Ken, what was your source for the father of William Arms? William Hearne lacked reliable sources + he was married to Sara Fautarte. I was criticized several years ago because I also thought he was William's father. see Edward W Arms. A Genealogical Record of The Arms Family in this country, Embracing all the known descendents of William 1st. Troy NY, 1877. Also - History of an Arms family the first in the name in America. If there is not a source then it's fiction.
Thanks for correcting that. It was most likely an unsourced family tree that I was given from a relative. It had quite a bit of wishful thinking, which I didn't realize until I had imported it. Sorry for the confusion.
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As we always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
