Hi Jeff, Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it's a good day for you.

. . . Also, wanted to let you know that I have had some success with the posting of surnames. Was contacted by a gentleman in Erie who is connected to the Filley and Hinkler families. I sent him all I knew about these families. In return he is sending me what he knows. It seems that his grandmother kept scrapbooks most of her life. In these are clippings that mention the Banister family. So you see, this webpage works! I would never have found this person otherwise.

Take care and will talk to you later.

Gaylene Kerr Banister read a Query I posted with regards to Michael Hare in Erie County, and thanks to her I was able to fill in the two missing links that tie my grandmother to Michael. All this in under two weeks. Thanks to US GEN WEB and Gaylene.

Yes it does work!
