Finding Relatives Over the Pond

Thank you Genes Reunited for helping me connect up with relatives "over the pond". I've been researching my family's history since 1989 and never was able to get past my great great grandparents in Cumbria. With this website I was able to connect up with two more relations and now have two more lineages to my "Little" family.

My great grandfather had immigrated to the States back in the early 1860's, leaving his parents and 9 siblings behind. With the help of Genes Reunited, I have been able to complete 4 lineages of the 10 children.

It is my hope that in the future, I will be able to connect up with descendents of the other 5 siblings of my great grandfather, Thomas H. Little.

Again, many thanks Genes Reunited!!
