Hello,
My name is Brennan. I was born Brennan Douglass Belknap 12/06/1980. My name changed when I was adopted to Brennan Douglas Ederer. My biological father’s name is Garth Wilson Belknap. I am wondering if there are any records of his family.
Thank you for your message. We might have information on your Belknap lineage. Please provide the name of Garth Wilson Belknap’s father and, if possible, his grandfather and great grandfather, so that we can see how you connect in the larger Belknap/Belnap family tree. Information can be set to belnapfamily.org@gmail.com. Thanks!
