Early Canfields from England/France
I have posted this information in another thread, so I apologize for the same information.
I recently started searching (and thank's to my cousin, I received some earlier information) my father’s family tree simply because, as far as we knew, no one had come up with a lot of documentation and research on his lineage.
My father turned 81 years old this past October (and has been pretty ill for several years) and I would really love to give him as much background information as possible for Christmas this year so he knows where he/we came from.
I am looking for any information regarding our heritage.This is what I have gathered so far (but my documentation/photos are very limited):
(I have done research on direct descendants only rather than the entire family tree since it would be too huge to give to him)
