Hardester/Hardister
This is my attempt at trying to find all the branches and twigs of this family. With the help of the internet I have hopes of locating all lost lines. In just a few short weeks I have managed to connect with several distant cousins so if we all pull together we should reach our goal. I appreciate each and everyone who has helped me and I know there will be others who will eventually get on line and join our team.
Below is a list of names Which I have come across connected with the this line. Each name will eventually link to a family group sheet and any other info I have come across for that person. Please be patient with me while I get all of this in the computer. If you see a name and I don't have their family in yet feel free to e-mail me and I will get back with you.
