To all Concerned..

This is Lawrence M.Hasenstab.. Hasenstab-19

During my Ancestry Searching.. I have gotten back here to.. Peter Coffin.. Recently I added him to the Third different Families Branch..

The Most recent is Our Neighbor.. That I was doing for Her Grandson's Family.. Who recently Passed..Leaving Two Young Children..

I may be Messanging that a Link May be Missing in Our Line to Peter Coffin..

Looking Forward to Learning more about The Coffin Line...

When I'm Sure of The Line as.. I will send the Wikitree Id's..

I deleted the second Duplicate photo and the data that came with the merge, as it was all Ancestry.com trees, nothing of proof. I believe the profile is as it was before the merge.
