This is Adam's best friend, Angelique, we share the same computer, but he goes out on jobs alot. I'm the one who actually started the Hamson board for him. His father is Donald Hamson, mother Elaine Stauffer(was m-to Hamson for several years). Adam has 4 other siblings; Julie, Christy, Susie, Joseph, & Adam (baby). I know that Susie has traced a huge part of the geneology back several centuries which I hope is good news to you. I believe that the name Hamson was Hanson, but the grt-grndpa was running from the law and changed it(not much though). I know his line traces back to a ruler from the monarchy of Greece. They have a picture of him from approx. late 1700's, and for some reason, his reigned for only 7 years. I will ask his family which which line he was from. Does any of this sound familiar to your family history? P.S(I know alot about Adam, because we were engaged for 5 years incase you wondered why his FRIEND :) knew so much.) Looking forward to beginning to unravel the rest of the Hamson mystery. ~ Angelique
