| I am trying to research my family ancestry and am new to the game.I have been able to get some information going back up to seven generations on my father's side.The family names I am looking for are:Ganshirt(Genshirt, Gantzhirt)TaylorStoweBosch/Busch and Ward The information I have gotten from family members tells me that the Taylors' arrived in America on the "Mayflower" from England and Scotland by way of France.Most of the Taylor's that I have identified were born in Springfield or West Springfield, Hampden Co., Massachusetts.The oldest Taylor relative I have is Jonathan Taylor born 1624 in England. The oldest Stowe relative I have is Wm. H Stowe born September 25, 1823 in Cattaruagus County, New York. The oldest Ganshirt relative is Andreas Ganshirt, born abt 1694 in Baden Germany. The oldest Bosch relative is Fredolyn Bosch, born 1806 in Baden, Germany. I am also trying to place the following surnames from my mother's side: JohnsonGreen/GuiteMcCall Manderson The Johnson's & McCall's were some of the first to settle at what was called The Long Pointe Settlement, more commonly, Charlotteville, Ontario. Ancestral names include: Kern, Fairchild & Shearer The Green/Guite family are mainly from Quebec with ancestors bearing the following other names:Caissey(Quessy), Cyr The oldest Johnson relative is Lawerence Johnson born April 2, 1759 thought to have been born in New Jersey and is of Dutch descent.
