Patricia, and any one else researching GREENHAWK surname
I began researching the GREENHAWK name many years ago without much luck. I have had many contacts with others who also have hit brick walls with that name. I have recently begun working on my husbands GREENHAWK family again and would like to communicate with any one who is willing to share their information with me and in return I will share the little info I have accumulated.
Patricia, you mentioned Jonas GREENHAWK. I have tried to find information about Jonas because my father-in-law said he had an Uncle named Jonas, however he never knew what happened to him. Apparently the family was seperated when they were all very young and they lost track of each other! Mr GREENHAWK would never talk of his family, either because he really did not know about them or other reasons he chose not to discuss. When questioned he would always say "Let sleeping dogs lay" "The more you dig out of the past the more pain it can cause" therefore - NO information from him. He had a sister Edythe Harrison who was the same way. Please contact me and let me know where you got your information about your Jonas, need birth dates, who his children married, anything that would give me a clue as to where to look next for his family. Our Jonas GREENHAWK was apparently born abt. 1879, Talbot County, MD. If we are talking about the same Jonas, I have a little information about his family to share with you.
Would any one happen to have information about Samuel Thomas GREENHAWK who changed his name to Greenwood, moved from Talbot County to North Carolina, then to Florida or another GREENHAWK that changed his surname to Love. Thanks, Sylvia
