I thought it looked odd myself, though I’m not really sure. My gut tells me it is 2 different names hyphenated somewhere and the gal that put our family tree together couldn’t find the connection.
Bradshaw: England, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas
Proctor: England, Tennessee, Texas
Guinn: West Virginia, Texas
Beesley: Tennessee, Texas
Nisbet > came from Scotland, settled in Wisconsin
Klein, Grosinske > Germany, settled in Wisconsin
Pine > Britain, I think. Settled in NY
Craig, Beach > Britain, settled in NY
Tilson > Britain. Tilson, NY is named for this family.
I’ll see if I can get the Roberts back to Brewster trail from my other cousin …
On my father’s side: Hedge, Murphy, Wymore, Skaggs, and Junk. Wymore may be an English spelling of Weimar or Weigmar.
Further back, Lehrer (German; left around 1745–the name was changed to Lair after a few generations), Moyer (also German), Mullenauer (German; I believe it was soon changed to Miller), Van Meteren (Dutch; changed to Van Meter), Dubois (French), McDonald, Duncan, Downing, and Letcher (Stephen Giles Letcher, a governor of Kentucky in the 19th century, was one of my ancestors.)
On my Mother’s side: Wilson (left Glencourse Scotland around 1612 after they found out they were going to be arrested for being the wrong religion), Sharpe, McKinnon, Boring (yes, that was the real surname though it’s sometimes spelled Boren), Sheffield, Roberts, Prescott, Price, and McGovern.
Allison, Deason, Johnson, Keaton, Jackson, Beard, Keeton, Clark, Ragsdale, Joslin, Townley, Green, McKee, Cowan, Johnsey, Rutledge, Carter, Mellows, Staggs, Brown, Peacock, Easterling, all from my mother, most from the south, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia. Until I started doing geneology on a whim, I had no idea my mother’s ancestors were in the first colonies. My father’s ancestors were in Finland, where they just took as last names the farms they happened to be living at. Not nearly as easy to trace.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I’m also 12th generation Brewster line. My Gray line traces back to where they married into the Freeman, Godfrey, Sparrow and Prence lines, which are also related to Brewster.
pohjonen: a small nitpick; it’s spelled ‘genealogy’. 
Rawlings, Gray and Sears for me.

let’s see … i’m 14 generations out of Brewster, you’re 12 …
::lights flash, bells ring::
that means we’re 11th cousins twice removed !
Sparrow and Prence sound familiar, I think you might be a closer cousin than me to my 12th cousin once removed (also via Brewster) surnamed Roberts …
Do you know if you are from the Grays of Massachusetts? If so, we may be related. My immigrant ancestor was John Gray of Scotland, who died in Yarmouth, Cape Cod in about 1674.
I hardly know any of mine:
Mulligan, Pye, Harrowsmith, Hodkinson.
I’m surprised there’s been no Mulligans mentioned (or their variants) seeing as it’s quite a common Irish name.
Off the top of my head, I can give the surnames of 7 of my great-grandparents:
Dad’s Side
Ebert - Philadelphia, PA.
Matlack - England to NJ to Philadelphia. If you’re descended from Col. Timothy Matlack (of Declaration of Independence and National Treasure fame) then we’re related.
Varney - Reading, PA, then Philadelphia
Saylor - Possibly NH, then Reading
Mom’s Side
Walker - England, then Philadelphia (late 1800s)
Daniels - Springfield, MA, then Philadelphia
Peacock - Ireland (?), then Philadelphia
My mother’s mother’s mother was a French Canadian named Georgine or Georgette (she married Frederick Daniels), but I don’t know her last name.
Trower, Twisselman (Twisselmann), Harvey, Sommer, and then there’s a name that I can’t recall at the moment, that pops up in the genealogies of both sides of my family :eek: I think it was Dowell…
Catnoe…I think we may be cousins!!!
I am also of the Hauser line. To my knowledge, we came from Alsace (Germany), settled in PA for a while then moved on to Indiana.
I am also a Huff, May, Place, and Rowe all from Germany.
Heath - on my dad’s side. We don’t talk about ancestors much.
On my mom’s side: Brohinsky(i) (Brahinsky(i), Narof(f) or Narov, and according to grandpa, Romanov (yes, those Romanov’s). An then there’s Hopp from Ohio. My maternal grandmother’s name was Bonnie Hopp . I almost feel bad for the bitch.
I’m not sure it’s possible to be descended from those Romanovs, since they were all murdered.
Wallis, Bohn, Vaughan (or Vaughn)… the German contingent.
McLean, McLain… the Irish contingent.
Newland… the I have not a clue contingent.
I also know a Lavoie, who has told me of the family reunions where very distant cousins meet up in Canada.
Not all the Romanovs. There’s still a bunch of them bouncing around (Prince Paul Romanovsky, the ex-Major of Palm Beach, was a descendant of Czar Alexander II). **congodwarf **are you from a legitimate or an illegitimate line?
Hi Cousin! Family at last, figures it would be the Hausers, they are the best documented of my family. Two books at least on the genealogy. Always tracing the male line never the female’s descendants.
I don’t have my book, loaned it to a cousin and then decided to let her keep it has I have no children to pass things on to.
What part of Indiana? Bartholomew County perhaps? Salem? That’s where my Hausers and a lot of other family wound up before spreading out.
