George Frank O'Brien/Frank Albert Klinkhammer, the youngest child was adopted by the Klinkhammer family. I am second cousin two times removed of Harriet Hendrick Fuller and have been researching my "Fuller" family. This line goes to Lot Fuller, DAR Patriot and on to Edward Fuller, Mayflower passenger. I hold certificates in both of these organizations. This is family history and that is my only purpose of showing a clear bloodline for ancestry reasons.
