SAYLOR DNA PROJECT BACKGROUND

PROJECT BACKGROUND
I found the published works of Richard Warren Davis and Samuel J. Saylor during a 2005 visit to the Goshen College Library in Goshen, Indiana. These “new” sources of information are very interesting. The descendants of Ulrich Seiler, *(1142), and Joseph Seiler, *(1141), are very well documented and the possibility of a connection is suggested by Richard Warren Davis.

Per DNA results released 10 OCT 2008, the two Saylor families are NOT related! Therefore, the purpose of the project is changed.
