Dear Joanna
My branch of the family goes back to 1007. If you and I are related, even distantly, I would be more than happy to correspond.
You can reach me privately at
carsoneb@netscape.ca.
I don't know any stories of the deForests and you mentioning they were UEL is very important.
Please send me an email to my home email address. I look forward to corresponding with you.
Wendy
