Hello Mr. Allen,

We would like to help you, but in order to do that, we need to know a bit more precisely how we can assist you. Have you searched Census records for your ancestors? Do you have birth, death, and/or marriage dates/records for any of them? How wonderful that you know some of your female antecedents' maiden names.

Regards,
Sandra
