My family line descends from William Potter, born about 1607 in England and died in New Haven, Connecticut. To me genealogy is more than filling in the names in your family line. Along with the quest for accuracy and documentation, I find it fascinating to search for the stories that go with the names. If your line connects with mine, I'd like to hear from you. The most common surnames in my lineage: Potter, Hobart, Thompson, Smith, Millross, Campbell, Hall, Montgomery, Bybee, Kennedy, Lillie, Tuttle, Freeman, Bird, Brownell, Lane, Hammond, Meiklejohn, Clark, Southworth, Hobbs, Cross, Moffitt, Welborn, Howard, Daniel, Wheeler, Churchill, Riston (Wriston), Orme
