I emphasize that they are family and related and are indeed of cousin of some sort.

And any information you learn from it is a big plus. I envy you!<br />In your blog intro you mention you have ancestral lines from the Netherlands. I also see the Terwilliger name which definitely has a Dutch sound. The name Terwilligen (with an n) shows up in Dutch archives.<br />Reason for this observation is that in my blog I have a post showing blogs of people with Dutch ancestors: http://patmcast.blogspot.nl/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html So I like to ask your permission to add your blog to the list showing your Dutch surnames.<br />Another post is http://patmcast.blogspot.nl/2012/06/dutch-surname-equivalents-abroad.html There I publish Dutch surnames that have changed over the years. Your Terwilliger name, if Dutch, may very well qualify here and like to include this surname and possibly others as well.<br />Your reaction will be highly appreciated. You may reach me at patmiebies at gmail.com<br />Thank you.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022882827649802537.post-11264222740995241572012-07-28T23:00:02.013-07:002012-07-28T23:00:02.013-07:00Jill, it wasn't on Facebook, it was on a Roots...Jill, it wasn't on Facebook, it was on a RootsWeb Surname Board.
