Looks like we may need to do more merging. I am related to your Kelsos and Thompsons and have already added a lot of records. Here is another one that we will need to merge. Looks like we are cousins! There are 4 Clevers who have done the Family Tree DNA test and are matches with me. I imagine that you are related to them too. If you follow my Thompson line, you may find more of your ancestors. Thanks. Judy LEsso - Lesso-1
