The two LOSS families below should be connected ... DNA indicates there is a connection. You can read the story in my other blog post from today: LOSS or DeLOSS, a Family Connection Lost... Can it be Found?
Can you help?
Do you know anyone named LOSS or DeLOSS? Possibly someone with a first or middle name who might have a LOSS or DeLOSS ancestor?
How are they related? Are they they linked to one or both of the families below?
Family #1, descendants of Lewis Milton Loss, belongs to Mary Ann Loss who has been researching both Loss families for years.
Family #2, descendants of John Loss, belongs to me who has been trying to find my GGG'grandmother's family. I've made some break throughs to get back a couple of generations, thanks to researching my GGG'grandmother's brother Louis Homri DeLoss and also to hints from Mary Ann.
