Benjamin and Winnie (Nix) Clardy Descendants
Meet more family!
The following family information was kindly submitted by Dale Elizabeth Moller in November 2003 with info added that I had in my files. Dale has surfed the internet and discovered that no websites included the information of her direct line to the point in which her great grandfather connects. She too is from the Michael and Judith Clardy line. Since information has been published or is available on the Michael and Judith line I have choosen not to spell it all out again here except the short direct line version listed below. If you are also a descendant of this line, Dale would love to hear from you. Dale may be reached at: [email protected]
