This is a checkerboard of missing information. I need any clue as to the
parents and siblings of the four great grandparents plus anything else you
can offer. Even suggestions of where to look would be helpful. I would love
to be able to link into your family trees. I live in California and I have
to seriously plan any NY/PA trips.
John Hemen Rowe and Mary Elizabeth Chamberlin are my paternal grandparents.
Thank you and sorry for the long Email, I'm been blocked for many years.
