I'm VERY happy to have found you, despite the seven year differential. I have almost no information on the Pates, except for a family .ged file that Joel Pate provided for me (God bless Joel Pate). My grandmother Alma died at the tender age of 42. So finding one of Wiley Pate's great-grandchildren is a great good fortune. We are of the same generation. I do hope you get this after all these years. David Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
