Re: I am just beginning

Hello Ray,
I'm so glad to see a living Abbey on the net.I do not recognize your fathers name but I haven't taken the Abbey line all the way to present.I got bogged down trying to clear up some errors in the 1745 Samuel Abbey who is GGGGGgrandfather to my children.I do havequite a lot of info on the Abbe/Abbey line which
was started in this country by one John Abbe and Mary Loring from England.
Massachusetts,Conn., New York, Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas are some of the states I have information on.
Surely, there must be a connection.Have you checked any of the census records yet?If family records are sparce you might be able to back- track that way to begin.
Would be happy to share what I have if you want to compare.Your maybe cuzin by marriage
