Thanks cousin Kim, I appreciate all the help and support. About 15 years ago, you were the first connection I found (beyond my father, mother and immediate family) to help me with my family tree. I was stuck on Whitney Root and had posted on ancestry, you responded and sent me a wealth of materials, names and leads. Much appreciated! I also passed through Lysander about 10 years ago and almost dropped in to see you, somehow we did not connect, it would have been a brief visit, but I would have taken the time to thank you in person for all your help. As I said I don't get on wiki very much lately due to a couple of family issues so I continue to have gratitude for your additions and edits to the "Root" clan. I trust your knowledge and judgement.

Hey,cousin Howard! I updated the notes and sources with censuses. Thank you for sharing the pictures of the family bible. I descend from Henry's older brother Josiah Root (m. Polly Damuth), who stayed in Lysander, Onondaga Co., NY.
