Hi Tricia,
Congratulations! I can understand your excitement at finding a distant
cousin on the list as I have discovered more than my fair share this way and
through the Powys FHS. I am sure you and John will have a great time
comparing notes and increasing the number of names in your family tree.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Dear Listers,
I just wanted to thank all those of you who helped me in my Patterson
search.
Thanks to your help I am now in touch with John Patterson who is
also on
this list and who it turns out is a distant cousin. Our common ancestor
is
Richard JAMES born ca 1781. I am descended through his daughter
Hannah
and John
through his son Richard. I have not been able to work out our degree
of
cousinship yet. As you can imagine I am "quite" excited to have found
someone
through this list.
Kind Regards
Tricia
