  • I have William Steen Hunter in my Irish research tree.  This is a tree compiled from my highest matches on my father's side.  It is an extensive one but I have yet t identify just how my father fits in.  The reason for this is that his paternity is unknown.  I have William and Anna's children as well as the previous generations, if this is of any help to you.

    Best wishes

  • If you are on Ancestry I will let you look at the tree, which is currently private and unsearchable.  A word of warning though - it is largely a 'quick and dirty' tree based on the trees of my DNA matches.  Having said that though, I have backed up what I can with documents as hints have come up.

    Best wishes
