Found the missing link

Thought I'd share with you that I have, at long last, found that missing link back to John Batton and Jessie Steel. I noticed the other day that someone had saved the 1910 US Census to my family tree page on ancestry.com so I checked to see the names appearing on this census. It turned out to be the census relating to George Batton and his wife Anna Armstrong. George was the son of John Batton and his wife Jessie. John Batton was the brother of our relatives Andrew Batton, Samuel Paton (Batton), Ellen Gordon ms Batton and George Paton (Batton). I checked to see what this persons connection with the Batton family was and found a lady named Dorothy Forcina. She has messaged me to let me know that her grandmother was Margaret Batton, daughter of George Batton, grand-daughter of John Batton and great-grand-daughter of the patriach of the family GEORGE BATTON born 1807..... DOROTHY has photographs of the 3 Batton sisters - Margaret (her gran), Isabella and Lillian which were taken at her own wedding in the 1990's. Can't wait to see them. Note the names of the daughters, probably named after many of your ancestors...... Just when I thought I had the Batton booklet up to date and ready to convert again, I find yet another missing piece in the jigsaw. I'll pull together a note to show the family connections.
