Hi Diane,

I do not think you have jumped to conclusions either.  It appears that 
the surname for that blood line made a major change.  At least you have 
a fairly good idea of the surname that you now need to be looking at to 
continue your search.

I doubt we will ever know the connection, however I do know that blood does not lie, and different haplogroups (very different) are a sure sign that we are not descended 'by blood' from the other family... I am searching for 'blood' ancestors... and I have simply stopped with the only shaky link.
