Many thanks for the email and personal contact. I have been researching the Lybrand families in the US for about 15 years and have documented a large number of descendants of John (Jack) Lybrand Sr, born in South Carolina. We had always suspected that we wer descended from Heinrick Lybrand/Lybrandt who immigrated to South Carolina in 1752. Only recently, when we found your website were we able to connect to him.

I live in Florida and my cousin William Maxfield Harris, whose website our documentation is on, lives in Arkansas. We both were born in Texas, and our grandmother was Lybrand.

Heinrick Lybrand (Lybrandt), Christian Lybrand, John (Jack) Lybrand Sr, David Delano Lybrand, Alice Lee Lybrand (grandmother) m. Asbury Ginn Maxfield.

On the instructions I left on Lybrand Genealogy Forum for getting to your website, I just tried it several times and had no problem pulling up your home page, with your picture and the group picture. When www.iae.nl is entered it brings up "WelKom BIJ IAE". Clicking on "Homepages" on the left brings up "PIAZZA" with blocks A-Z. Clicking on block "L" brings up "PIAZZA" with the "L" listings. Scroll down, click on "Leibbran" (with Hans Leibbrandt next to it) brings up your home page. Of course, using the address you sent me in your note works much faster, but I offered that method as an easy way to get to your website using a browser such as I have (MSN Explorer).

You have a great website and I can appreciate all the effort that went into it. It will be very useful for those of us doing research on our families.
