My ancestors go back to 1762 in Norwalk. That info os from the tombstone of Alvin Metrash. Other names are Grace Metrash-Butler,Angeline Metrash-Hubbard. Other names include Hawley and a Ruannah Green-Metrash Who was born in Sherman CT. I was lucky enough to meet a woman on line who was researching African-Americans in colonial Norwalk who has been most helpful. I hope this info is helpful to you. Are you researching roots in this area? If so what cities? Can I help? Will be doing research in the New Haven public library soon, so let me know.
