I am presently researching the Comalander surname if that is the correct sp. I never did really know, just heard my Mother repeat it I spelled it that way. Also, there are several other spellings with the same sound. My GGGGrand was a Comalander m. to a Knight in Ala. Her daughter Mary Ellen Knight was m. to Joel J. Hadaway (My mothers' maiden name) I have been searching for a good # of yrs. have made know connections with Ellen E. or Knight, just Mary. Would appreciate any info. that I might be able to secure from anyone. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I am a Comalander located in lower Alabama. I know that my paternal Gmother is a Comalander m. to a Hutchinson. Her father, my great-grandfather is Robert Bernard Comalander, Sr. I can't remember very far beyond that, though I do recall a Bessie Comalander (her married name). Not sure as to her maiden name, though.

Is WILLIAM THOMAS HADAWAY, JR., b. December 25, 1932 still alive. Do you think he could help us with the Hadaway DNA Project. I was wondering if he is kin to the David Hadaway from Jones County, Georgia clan...For more details you can email me at ph1958@centurytel.net

Kathy,

I'm sorry that it has taken me yrs. to connect with you again. This is Sharon your Cousin. Aunt Kate was my grandfathers' sister.

I still remember visiting with her and Uncle Jesse as a girl with my Mother Mildred. Anyway, have been doing a lot of the Hadaway research the past couple of yrs. and more so now & trying to get things together for my Uncle Linwood.

Thank you for the information as it opens a lot of doors. I have only recently started rechecking some of my postings with Ancestry.

Should you need to connect with me my e-mail is smwalker@musfber.com

Thanks, Sharon
