i have just joined Wikkitree and saw the name Johann Friedrich Bruns, Missouri (presume Concordia), and have direct ancestor, August Bruns related to Johann Friedrich Bruns. Would like to know what direct tracings you have on that person going back. I have many going forward. August Bruns is my grandmother's father. Concordia history, then going back to Hamburg and Hannover in general. Not sure where your concentrations are, but if it is Bruns, would really appreciate hearing what you have gleaned and I will share what i have on that branch. Thank you, E. Schreiner

I’m primarily focusing on the New England branches of my tree. My uncle has traced us back to William the Conqueror, and I to 11th c. Normandy. Excited to see what we can share. Best, Michael Sterling

In my database of Buchanan descendants, there are many Williams, but none that lived in Oklahoma or married a Meyer. I suspect it is a different Buchanan family. Mine came from west of Omagh, in County Tyrone, Ireland in 1847 and settled in Perth County, Ontario, Canada. Some in later generations went to Michigan and to Washington State, but none to Oklahoma. Most came west in Canada during the westward expansion of settlement.
If you think it would help, please ask again to be added to my trusted list.
