Wow, small world. My maternal grandmother said we were related to Daniel Boone as well.
My fathers people moved to Canada during the revolutionary war, and supposedly founded a town across the border. At that time changed their name to Tracy from du'Trace. Not sure of the spelling as I believe it was french.
My dad came to the US when he was 16 with his mother. He became a naturalized citizen after WWII.
