Re: Desperately seeking Benjamin...
I have some info on Cornelius, et.al. as I am descended from him. Unfortunately, I am moving into a new house next week and all of my geneology notes are in storage.
There is also a Michael Neafus in Oklahoma who, I believe, is descended from Benjamin. He has some pretty extensive info and has made a "pilgrimage" to KY.

If anyone is interested there is a Neafus cemetery outside of Brandenburg, Ky

Re: Desperately seeking Benjamin...
My dad's great granddad was Benjamin Neafus. We have records of the name change. If we are connected it would be great to find out.

Hi, I haven't been here in awhile. My Grandfather was William Herbert and my dad is a W. H. Jr.....Shirley is my cousin and is Lesters daughter. Lester was my uncle. I would like to make that pilgrimage as Michael did, maybe someday I'll be able to! Lisa

Well......you would have to be about 130 or 140 yrs. old!My great grandads name was Benjamin but you could be a relative...who was your dad or grand-dad? Lisa

Re: Desperately seeking Benjamin...
Wow! My dads Grand-dad was Benjamin and he lived in Brandenburg(sp) KY but lived later and died in Oklahoma. My dad is 78 years old so that would make the Benjamin I'm looking for quite old. How old is your dad and what is his name? I'll ask my dad if he has a cousin by the name you give me. What did the name (Neafus)change from? Thanks, Lisa
