Acknowledgements

In June 1977, I spent two weeks at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. During that time, I discovered the microfilmed family group sheets that B. Esther Harn had submitted; based partially upon an old manuscript of Ellen Dorcas Harn and Esther's own research. This provided a treasure trove of information on the Harn/Hearne family. After fruitless attempts at trying to locate Esther, I hired an investigator. He was able to locate the remarried Esther McCulley. Over the years we have continued to correspond, and share a great deal of information.

Have corresponded extensively with Ann (Kranz) Kurth, who was also researching the McCarthy lines. Ann came up with a good deal of new information.

Corresponded extensively with Mildred (Toland) Harn on the Harn family in Pennsylvania.

The book, David Purdy Family by Paul B. Purdy provided a great deal assistance on the Purdy and Hoogland lines. I was fortunate enough to correspond with his wife, Lila S. Purdy in the 1970s.

Received a great deal of new information on the newer branches of the Nestaval lines from Jerry E. Nestaval, Kirk Z. Nestaval, Hal J. Nestaval, and Jamie Nestaval.

Several close and distant 4th and 5th cousins provided numerous updates to the many old and new family lines.
