PLEASE LEFT CLICK. COUSINS, NO Family can
be thourly Evaluated throught jus one family. MY Late Mother was An
Amherst county Virginia Campbell, BUT To get thhroughh HER Ancestry, There
were<Sttinnett's, Statens, Johnson's, Wilmer's, North's, For A fact, I
have
located 32 families in MY Ancestry, TRUE there were many cousin marriages, But
there were also many of OUR ANCESTORS were from some other family ! I was
raised with the understanding that My late Motherswere <SCOT/IRSH> The
Wilmore/wilmer's were french, Johnsons were Scandinavens, SO, JUST Campbbell's
like some researchers seem to rreserch is not going to give us our
compleet ancestry'
I often Wonder JUST Clese We have Flowed OUR SELVES < Yes we Know who Mama
& DADY WERE .
