Hi Paul. No, I haven't found any connections just yet. I've only added my mother who had the Steadman name. (Yes, they added an A sometime in the 1880s or 1890s) The link I have is on findagrave where someone did some extensive Stedman/Steadman history and was kind enough to fill in quite a lot of information that I was able to link to my grandfather.
I've done a ton of research on the Stedman family. If you need help finding the connection, let me know. I see the a added to the name in public records, but I haven't yet seen that on a gravestone.
