David,

Was given your web page url and shown your last "Chronicle", July 1999, by Joanne Harvey who was teaching a class on genealogy at Michigan State University. Was I surprised to find that she was a Procunier. My link to Procuniers (spelling passed on by my grandmother) is through my mother's family and is a line about which we knew very little. Your web page was very informative. We knew that there were two Peters before Adam, but that was about it.

Congratulations on a superb web page. Hopefully this type of page and more publicity will turn up that missing piece of evidence to find a proven connection beyond Peter Sr. I have only one vivid memory of my great grandmother in her 100th year. But her mother, Margaret Procunier, died when Emma was only in her young teens. Not much was passed on. I have very little information on either Margaret or Adam. Have you made a contact with someone in the Canadian line who might be able to tell me more? Of course, I still have to read all your online newsletters and may find someone there.

Has there been an established DAR connection to Peter Sr. or any of Peter Jr.'s brothers who remained in Pennsylvania/Maryland? We have one down another line, but I wondered if there isn't another here.

Most sincerely,

Bill
