Hi Gini,
Sounds like you have your Bangs Family Tree pretty much assembled. Is
there any portion you could share w/us - perhaps to get some of us heading
in the right direction.
I take it you have info about the Yale collection that confirms there
are no Hanna Bangs 1644 references? I had hoped the collection might cover
pre-America Bangs info. For example: ". . . . this Jonathan was the son of
the Massachusetts Jonathan Bangs (1640-1728). As you can see, John
Carruthers was his uncle, and Abiah Bangs was his widow."

Interesting, but my Hannah Bangs was born in 1644.
