Hello Tanya hope your well, my name is Sam and I’m researching the francis/hibbert tree. I have taken an ancestry DNA test and have connected with DNA cousin matches one of whom is a lady called Maria Francis she is the daughter of Herman Arthur Francis who is my great grandfather‘s brother. Lovely person to speak to and once we have confirmed that we were indeed related she was very forthcoming with information and even sent me photos of the family. My relation to the Francis/Hibbett family is my grandfather is Louie Francis and his parents are Henry Francis and Kate Francis. I have had a look at the Francis page and some information is missing or incorrect feel free to message me and I will send you some of the information I know. Kind regards Sam
