I have your grandfather listed as Joseph Lee BARNUM (1911-1988) and I also have information for several generations of his ancestors. I haven't yet found the connection of this line of descent to the immigrant ancestor Thomas BARNUM (1625-1695), so I can't tell you the exact relationship to P.T. BARNUM. Although P.T. had four daughters, he had no sons, so the members of our family in North America are his distant cousins, not direct descendants. SEE: www.barnum.org

Kind regards,

Patrick
