Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there can help (fingers crossed), if only to point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for descendants of two members of my family.
1. George Baff (aged 25), his wife Mary and baby daughter moved from Scotland, UK to the US in 1853, moving to Illinois in 1854.
2. William Baff, his cousin, born 1847, moved to the US in the late 1860's, married Nancy Mariah Pomeroy from Illinois and they moved to Rock Island.
They had four children George (who remained unmarried) Mary (married Peter Marx had two children, Roy and Grace), Thomas (married Clara and had 2 children Floyd and Zelah - Floyd later married Mary producing Joyce and Archie), and William (married Florence and they had two daughters, one I believe called Genevieve)
I've tracked William through Ancestry and the census material which details his Scots heritage, but I've had no luck with George b. 1828.
Our family still lives in Scotland and it would be great to reconnect with our lost family branch.
I've left messages on Ancestry for members of public trees,and on the Rock Island message board hoping for some clues, but with no replies.
It's difficult to get a hold of contact info for modern day "Baffs" who may be connected,from this side of the world, even with the internet....
Help.......please!
Any hints gratefully received.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Cheers,

June Black (nee Baff)
