It has proven to be quite a useful tool and has turned up more leads than I can handle all at once. I posted our family tree on Rootsweb for all to see, and I have gotten several responses from people wanting to compare notes.
One very distant Hahn cousin has contacted me. We have decided the common ancestor must be Michael Hahn, who immigrated to America in the 1700's. He had several children; John was her ancestor, and Adam was ours. She has created a family tree on a website host and has invited me to add to it. Right away, though I see a problem with her information on our Samuel Hahn (b. 1810). She has his family mixed up with another Hahn family and I will have to get that straightened out for her. It is not the first time I have seen this family all mixed up.
Finally, I have been contacted, through Rootsweb, by a Younger cousin. The common ancestor is John W. Younger.
I don't think I helped her out much, unless the family group record I sent her on Tennessee Younger and Robert Lutes had new inforamation for her. However, she was helpful to me in adding a bit more information to our records regarding Arah Younger McCants, her great-grandmother.
