FYI for those who are Laniers, but don't fall into the following category.
The group description:
The Lanier Family Genealogy list is for sharing information about the genealogy of the descendants of Nicolas Lanier (abt 1544-1611) and Lucretia Bassano (abt 1556-1634). The Lanier and Bassano families were musicians in the court of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

Best of luck to your group LoisLanier!
