Hi guys - Earlier this year I worked up a distant DNA match and subsequently found six other matches - together they confirmed an 1814 Will out of Somerset Co PA, adding many more relatives to my tree. And guess who one of those matches was - Stacy Ashmore Cole! We are 6th cousins once removed and it's been fun to work with her and others on this family. Thank you for the award to her, she deserves it!
