Thank you very much Jim1, you have taken me one step deeper
To the comment from Z, I am looking for anything from any of the individuals listed, births, marriages, children

One week ago I knew nothing of my family history on my father's side.....he came from Britain as a young child and would never talk about his background.
I recently got my DNA done at 23andme.com and it listed potential genetic matches.....one of them looks to be a potential 3rd cousin or so....branching off from a great great grandparent.

This person was able to get me back 4 generations quite quickly and introduced me to this site....now I am even deeper.

Thank you all to those who might be able to provide me with any information on my family background
