am contacting you about this profile: Johann Adam Leitner, but also about building a better-documented tree for the first several generations of the Leutner/Leitner/Lightner family. There are some old approximations, estimates, and hypotheses that have morphed and propogated as facts that we should look at.
I think there should be public access to my Ancestry page for Adam to "see where I'm coming from" [ https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/100298717/person/1... ] Let me know if you have any troubles and I can give you access through an email invitation.
Be sure to look through a document in his Gallery titled, "The Supposed Lightner Legacy". A collection of published and un-published early-family lore is included at the beginning. The document has evolved a bit since posted there and I'm going to try and migrate it to Google Docs so an up-to-date version is always accessible.
Sincerely,
Paul Lightner Whitehouse
