      Good Morning Mary Frances,

      My husband Robert Frederick Reynolds had done some research a very long time ago. He was an only child and his father?s siblings died young before marriage and children. When he passed away 12 years ago before all the tools of the Internet were available. His tree is James, Gildeon, Ambrose, Jared, J. Sidney, William Franklin, Frederick. See chart below, hope the formatting stays correct.

      I packed away the family tree and research to keep for my daughters who were very young at the time. The only members of the Reynolds Family, Robert met and kept in touch with Ellen Mac Donald in Bermuda. Last summer, we took a cruise to Bermuda and in passing I mentioned to my girls that they had relatives in Bermuda? So when I returned I did connect with Ellen?s son Alastair MacDonald.

      Now with all these websites/DNA kits, the girls are somewhat interested in finding out more about their Reynolds roots. My oldest, Emily, is about to graduate from Wheaton College, Norton, MA, my middle Audrey is a sophomore at Susquehanna University, PA and my youngest is in High School in Oradell, NJ.

      Are you a member of the Reynolds Family Association?

      Best Regards,
      Regina Reynolds
