Bob, Welcome to the world of genealogy. If the bug bites, you're hooked. Names are good. If you can provide dates (birth/marriage/death), counties and states would be great, because names seem to repeat themselves in families. Naming of children may be done to honor family members or famous people who are prominent at the time. The more information, the better. Good luck in research!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob & Marion Adamson <merva@jps.net> To: <ADAMSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2000 10:57 PM Subject: [ADAMSON-L] The stone wall in front of some of the Adamson's > .
