Hi Cristy, I'm stalemated in the 1700's. But I have been able to link a few other trees. I think it is over 2,000= names now. A lady in Australia contacted me to see if I knew anything about her GF. I was able to give his his name and link him to our family tree. He had gone to Australia in the 1800 for Scotland Yard to investigate= diamond smuggling and stayed there. My mom's father came from a small town in Rumania and emigrated to the UK= along with another young man at 13. They both changed their surnames and we lost the family connection. BTW the other young man was Edward G Robson Another family member married a fellow from the US and took the honeymoon= cruse home HMS Titanic :<( We don't know the married name so it is another lost link. I did the search of the Mormon records as well as the British census. I have a hand written Registrar of Births and Marrages from the 1780 for= 100 years. My great Aunt went to UCLA in her 80's to graduate and wrote up a lot of it= and listed many of the family connections.
