Hi Sam:

My Mom is one of the descendants of the Cecil County Gonces, and I have quite a bit of information on them. Unfortunately, there are quite a few Thomas Gonces in my list, and I can't determine which is likely your great-grandfather.

Can you provide anything more to go on? Do you have any dates or places of residence/birth, etc. for the Thomas you are looking for - or could you provide what you do know?

I believe that, except for the very few Gonces in Missouri and Nebraska, all of the rest of the Gonces throughout the U.S. descend from the same family originally in Middleton, Delaware prior to the revolutionary war.

Feel free to contact me directly at foberle@rcn.com if you want to. Although I don't know if the others are registered on Ancestry, there are a number of scattered Gonce cousins that I can put you into contact with (and we've found out that we are all related so far).

Although I am living in Illinois, I was born in Baltimore MD, where my great-great-grandfather John Thomas Gonce (and later some of his siblings and nephews) moved from Cecil County right before the Civil War.

I look forward to hearing from you and exchanging information.

Have a great weekend.

Frank

I'm not certain if my Gonces are related to any from Cecil county Maryland or not. But I am related to the Gonces in the Missouri area. I have some limited information on them however...

Just found a post you had sent to another researcher on the Gonce Family in 2005. I hope you are still researching or have the information you had then. My great-great-grandmother was Mary Emily Gonce daughter of Benedict James Gonce. I haven't done an extensive search of this family because I am currently trying to break down a wall I hit on the Bailey side. If you would be willing to share any family information on the Gonce Family my email address is dodge9man@yahoo.com. I am almost positive there is a connection to your line through my mothers' faamily. Thanks for any help you can give, Richard
