Sorry it took me so long to reply. Vacation and Christmas stuff. Live in Ormond Beach, FL We're related on my mom's side.

I don't quite understand "following" and the overwhelming response to me. I absolutely love it. I'm not sure how everyone found me. but glad you did. I did my DNA through Ancestry and never got this kind of response. It seems like the common thread is from the Stoughton family. Do you all know about them? They first came to the US in 1623 (I believe that's correct). William Stoughton (1631-1701) was a Judge over the Salem Witch Trials. I'm probably "Preaching To The Choir." I'm not sure how many will see this.

Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a young in spirit 76 year old. I was born in our local hospital. I was raised on a dairy farm outside the small town of Lake Stevens, Wa. I'm one of 5 kids born to John Bertsch and Mabel Estella Nichols. Her parents were Alvida Hummell and Charles Nichols. Alvida's parents were Martin Hummell and Sarah Stoughton. It seems that's our connection.

Merry Christmas, Gail Bertsch Chism.

Gail (Bertsch) Chism we are connected through my 10th GGM Arabella Carter (Williamson) 💕🪶💕
