People can spend a lifetime trying to uncover the story of their ancestors, and sometimes family lore is the clue and sometimes it's a red herring.

I'd be curious to know how you confirmed the connection. Were there just a lot of details that lined up? The right set of names in the right branch?

Again, congratulations. That's quite a find.
