The American connection

As i mentioned before my Great-Grandfather Stephen Morris was listed on someone's family tree on the Ancestry.com website. What is interesting is that Ancestry user was in the USA and looking at the full family tree it does seem i have some American relatives i never knew of before. Stephen's son Albert (hence my Nan's brother) had a daughter who married into the Read family from Staffordshire and their son is married to someone from the Hays family who hail from Alabama, USA so perhaps Mr Read (or his parents) emigrated to the USA. Unfortunately the website does not give details of living people (for identity security reasons no doubt) so i don't know the names of these fairly distant relatives.
