Denise,
Great. Thanks for jumping in. Hope others will as well.

I have quite a bit of information on Robert’s ancestry and some info on his descendants. I can either share with you and you can pass it on or this person is welcome to contact me.
Thanks, Russ!
Denise
Denise,
You can certainly share that here, in comments.
Do you have a Blog or an Online Tree? If you do, please share a link with us.
Thank you,
Russ
I have a public Ancestry tree and this is Robert in my tree: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/7454552/person/24217414181
This tree is not complete, however. I have a document sent to me by another researching offering far more detail and complete with source material that goes back to their Quaker roots. I haven’t been focusing on the more distant ancestry quite yet as I am still stuck on poor Robert the younger and trying to find out what happened to him in Texas. The details for him are sketchy.
That’s how I found you, btw. A friendly researcher in Dallas found your newsletter on file at the library and I googled you.
Denise
Denise,
Great. Understand “not complete”, but that is OK.
I hope the readers of this blog visit your Ancestry Member Tree and make comments on your tree to help you with your research.
I am working on getting more information on this blog, just need a couple more hours in a day.
Thank you,
Russ
