Names, Places and Most Wanted Faces

Craig over at GeneaBlogie suggested the following:


List the surnames you are researching and the general localities. Then tell the names of your “Most Wanted Ancestors,” that is, the ones you most want to find behind that brickwall. (You can tag people if you want; I’ve chosen not to do that here so that all readers are included). Let’s see your lists; maybe we can each help someone out!

  1. It looks like you and I have a cousin in common -- Hal Prestridge. He is my 5th cousin on his mother's side -- the Roberts line.

  2. I also have a Davis line from Georgia. We need to compare notes!
