looking for the Dennis familyCOMPLETE THANKYOU
« on: Sunday 24 September 06 20:09 BST (UK) »
Hi iam looking for the Dennis family who emigrated to the USA from the UK in 1852, family members were, Samuel b.1820 (Eng) Ester b.1826 (Eng) William b.1847 (Eng)  Ann M b.1849 (Eng) John b.1854 (NY) Henry b.1856 (NY) Josephine b.1858 (NY) Charles b.1861 (NY) Albert b.1863 (WI) and George b.1867 (WI). I have only just discovered that the Dennis family moved to the states so i have no info on them other than they may have lived in the Sauk, Wisconsin area, they are also related to the Seckers who went to the USA about the same time, any help appreciated, many thanks Adrian
