  • Concentrate on locating the connection between this line and the line in Dorset, England where we have a DNA match.
  • Note: All descendant lines from William Combs Gen #6 and wife Elizabeth Ellis are well documented. Their nine potential siblings and their descendants lines are also traced. Research perspective is comprehensive involving both collective and associated families in determining the family history.
