Hi John Bradley: You sent me the following message which I am sharing with the list: >>There are quite a few STRINGERS in Coffeeville. My Mom is from C' ville and she knows the name well. She is 85 and been around a long time. Give me some names and dates. jebrad@earthlink.net<<< How very nice of you. That is what is so wonderful about this list. While I am not researching the STRINGER name myself, others out there are. I forwarded your message to the last person who wrote in about STRINGER. In a 2nd message to me you wrote: >> I forgot to add that my mother grew up in Coffeevill, AL and the oldest Mayor in the state of Alabama History was Roy MYRICK. >>> That wonderful gem was forwarded to the last person asking about that surname. In your 3rd message you wrote >> my mother is 85 years old and from Coffeeville...her neighbors were CHANCEYs and I have been in touch with 1 of the gradchildren Rod CHANCEY...He might held...I will try to HELP!!<<< And that message was forwarded to the person researching CHANCEY Thanks again for your offer of help. And remember, you can always send your messages about what you read on the list to the email address for the list. ALCLARKE-L@rootsweb.com Best regards to you and your Mom, Nancy
