Dear Jill,
I am a descendant of Ohio / Connecticut / most probably Rhode Island Tift / Tifft / Tefft ancestors. Please to to the RootsWeb Tift message board for the reply I posted today to a question form Jerry Stewart.
I will be working on migration information and will someday (?) post it to
www.migrations.org, as there is not much about the Tift migrations from Connecticut to New York to Ohio to Michigan to Illinois to Nebraska to Wyoming, where I have discovered direct and collateral Tift ancestors of mine.
If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Respectfully,
Virginia Lee
