Just in case someone is interested:
My ancestor Jacob Cleal was brother to Daniel Cleal.
My grandmother [Lily Rosabel - born in 1892 at Albert Park]
was a grand-daughter of Rosabella Cleal (1831-1925), daughter of Jacob.
I do believe that makes me a direct descendant of Jacob CLEAL.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dicummings...I do hope this "discord" is cleared up. Life gets too hard sometimes, and it's so easy to get a bit protective.
If you, dear reader, do find a link between your family and the family mentioned here, please post a message here. thanks.
