[or-roots] Carla's Hawley and Shields connections

[CKlooster at aol.com]

Delores, I don't know of a connection between your Hawley family and mine,  
but I confess that I know less about the Hawley family than any other of my  
family lines.  When I began doing genealogy more than twenty years ago, I  
thought that the Hawley line would be a breeze because there was a strong,  active 
Hawley Family Association based in New York.  Unfortunately, there  were a 
number of Cyrus Hawleys...and even several Cyrus B. and Cyrus Benjamin  Hawleys. 
I corresponded with the head of the Hawley Family Association for  several 
years and she was as interested as I was in linking my anscestor with  the family 
lines that were documented.  We were never able to do it, and I  eventually 
went on to other more "research-friendly" family lines.  In the  past few years 
I've been working to flesh out the Hawley family lines but so far  have not 
been able to determine Cyrus' father or sibs.
 
I would think if there is a connection between your family and mine, it  
would have to be a collateral line.  I'll make a note of your information  as I 
research this family.
