I've been working on my family tree now for almost 27 years, sometimes more avidly than others. The stumbling block is the Head of the family, John Kitchen, who came with his family into Michigan abt 1846 from Canada. He says in several censuses that he was born in Nova Scotia and then in the 1870 census he said he was born in New Jersey. I think that is probably true and maybe he was raised in Nova Scotia. I know where he lived, what land he owned, jobs he held and cemetery plots he purchased. I even have his obituary, but no death certificate. I think my John Kitchen connects to the the John Kitchen, Susanna Bird family through their son James who had a son named John born the same year as mine. But until I have the proof I can't claim them. The main surnames are:KITCHEN, CLARK, HOLTZ, SIGGELKOW, SHELLMAN, FURMAN, UPDIKE,AND BRAGAW(BROUCARD) .
