Hello there.

I too am related to Janet Hamilton - on my mother's side - she was my great, great, great, great, great grandmother. We have in our family a couple of books she had published and also a family bible containing one of her eye patches.

I would be interested in finding out about your family and also letting you know about my side of the family tree.
