Are these Finch's related to Benjamin Franklin the Historical inventor. My greatgreat grandmother was Rose B Finch, here daughter was Jennie Vonarx married to my Grandfather Jim Vonarx. I am trying to find Roses family and her connection to Benjamin Franklin. I have been always told he is my 5th great Grand Father, but I have been unable to find who Roses parents are, and further back than that.
