Hi. While my surname is Shain, I was adopted in 1963. I am researching PUTNAM (dad Harry, mom Ruth, sisters Melanie and Melissa), and also CLARK/OAKES/VANCE (to find a common ancestor to a known DNA match). Samuel L Putnam (1824-1880) married to Winney Long (1820 - 1896) are my paternal Great Great Grandparents and Detroit Clark (1837 - 1896) married to Perline Penley are my maternal Great Great Grandparent. Feel free to email me - especially if you're kin! Thanks.
