Hi Janet,
I should have pointed out that I am not (as yet) part of the "Matthew 1744 tree". My own "John 1630 tree" goes back to circa 1630. Both John and Matthew come from the same part of Yorkshire, but so far no positive links between the families have been made.
I have contacted, or should I say been contacted by, dozens of people connected to the Matthew 1744 tree, hence the extensive work done on this tree. I would be happy to put you in contact with those who have close links to your branch.
And yes, I love Turkey!!
Regards, Bob
