I read your message from 2006. Just to say hi and that my husbands great grandfather was George W. Bly, the youngest child of Jacob Bly and Sophia Eckhart. George married a Lucy Bryant and they had 7 or 8 children. I have worked on this family for several years and am still having trouble with the info on some records and have no one to cross check with. I am happy to see that someone has gone back further than George and that makes it easier and fun for me. I might be able to help descendants with info for George's children, Mabel Bly DeHaven-Kunz, Cordelia Della Bly Moll, John Fredrick Bly, or Matthew Bly.
