Finding lost relatives



My grandson Nicholas was called to serve in the Manchester New Hampshire mission.  His first area of service was in Middlebury, Vermont.  When he went to church he met a brother Gee.  I e-mailed him and asked him to get me some information on this brother Gee. His name was Edward Gee.  I asked my grandson to get some information about his parents.  This was his reply:



His parents are Albert Richard Gee and Phyllis H. Gee

His grandparents to that side are Walter Allen Gee and Bertha Sumner.

He doesn’t remember how to spell them, so I had to guess, so the spelling may differ.



With this information I looked on Family Tree and found the individuals. 



I wrote him the following:



I found his parents and grandparents on Family Tree.  There are some ordinances that need to be done. You might let him know of these.  If he would like me to do them, I would be happy to do it or process them and send him the cards to take to the temple.



Our common ancestor is Solomon Gee of Lyme, Connecticut. 



His line goes as follows; Edward, Albert Richard, Walter Allen, Willis Freeman, Allen B, Solomon, Leuman, Solomon Jr. and Solomon Gee of Lyme Connecticut. (8 Generations).



Your line goes as follows, Nicholas, Rachel, Ivin Laurence, Ivin Lafayette, William Erastus, Erastus Rowe, Lysander, Salmon, Zopher, William, Solomon Gee of Lyme Connecticut (11 generations)



Looking in Family Search Record Search, I found the birth date for Edward and also his parents and grandparents.  I also found three of his siblings and their birth dates and birthplaces.  I also found five siblings for his grandfather and one for his grandmother.  There were ordinances to be performed for these individuals as well.



I still need to do further research and work on this line back to Solomon.  Most of the work has been done, but sources need to be attached.

There is work enough to e'er the sun goes down, on my life at least. 

I also found a gee cemetery just outside of Middlebury.  This does not seem to be indexed.  Another project
