ADDRESS: 606 Knights Bridge Road
SURNAMES: REYNOLDS
QUERY: My Mother was Sue Irene Reynolds. My grandfather (her father) was Charles Franklin Reynolds. All of Lima, Ohio. Both are buried in the Willamette National Cemetery in Portland. My father, Earl Cruse was a WWII veteran and my Grandfather was a veteran of the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. 1898. My 3rd grandson is Daric Reynolds Cruse. My Mother always said we are English, Irish and Scots. She was an only child so I have everything of hers which was everything of my Granddads including photographs going back to the Civil War. Be all this as it may, as a genealogist tracing my Reynolds' is frustratingly difficult. I was very close to my Granddad but not smart enough to ask questions. Now I am 73 and am still searching.

QUERY: Hello, I accidently came across your website and thought I'd contact you to see if our families are the same. I come from a long line of Reynolds. My grandmother's mother was Virginia (1907-1965). I am wanting to find all i can on Christopher Reynolds (came over here in 1622 from England) I am on ancestry.com. I know that the name Reynolds is a common name, but you never know.
Thank you,
Christina

I have researched Robert Reynolds and find no Catherine or Katherine. Has any more information come to light on Katherine Reynolds? If married in Dover, N. H., was Katherine already living there?

SURNAMES: REYNOLDS
QUERY: I am seeking information on the REYNOLDS REYNELL De Reynell Families. Any information on this particular bloodline, in particular Robert Reynolds the third and his relationship to the Scottish royal bloodline:
I recently began tracing my lineage on Ancestry.com in the hopes of finding where in Ireland my dad’s side of the family came from. My dads last name is Donohue, his grandfather married Susie Reynolds. To my amazement, it appears I am a direct descendant of some very prestigious and fascinating bloodlines in England. It appears that particular line goes all the way back to the Normans in France, Comte A De Reynell (30th great grandfather)is as far as I can go back (990-1030). After him is Count Arnoul de Reynell, followed by another Arnoul De Reynell, then Walter Reynells, Carew Reynells, and many more one being an archbishop of Canterbury.
Robert Reynolds the third, at least on Ancestry has a lot of stories that allude to him being a direct descendant of the Scottish Royal family. I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction to research. It looks like Thomas Reynolds migrated to Boston in 1590, I was also hoping to find out how this prestigious blood line ended up marrying my Irish great grandfather in west virginia.

SURNAMES: REYNOLDS
QUERY: Greetings Reynolds Genealogists:
I am researching and wish to locate primary sources verifying where and in what parish in England Robert Reynolds (b: about 1580-90 in England; d: 27 Apr, 1658, Boston, MA) was born (possibly Boxford, Suffolk County, England, or Aylesford, Kent Co., England), his parents names, and his marriage date and place to wife Mary. Has anyone discovered primary source verification for this information?
Robert and his wife Mary and their five children (Ruth, Tabitha, Nathaniel, Sarah and Mary) emigrated to Boston as part of the Winthrop Fleet in about 1630. Any assistance with establishing, with verifiable evidence, Robert's place of birth and parish would be appreciated. Thank you.
