Nancy, if you find a relative marrying in 1700 with a dispensation and they are 4th cousins it means that you will get info back to the 3rd greats so, it may take you back to the early 1600's who knows? I believe that they had to show their relationship back 3 or 4 generations in some cases so you never know what you might get. Very exciting possibilities.
