I have an update on the fall Chris Viescas took. It was evidently much more than a few bumps. She passed out and was taken to Loma Linda Medical Center and she has a few fractures, and her hip his going to keep her immobile for a good bit of time. She is in a great deal of pain, needless to say, Her husband is taking some time off to care for her. Let's call the firemen in the future for those kitties in the trees, group! Hopefully Chris will feel better soon and be back online. If she has to be immobile the computer will likely become her best friend for a while. Good opportunity to search, though! All the best wishes for less pain and a speedy recovery to our Chris! Sandi Mitchell Menifee CA Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

I'm wondering your sources on his parents, as I've been unsuccessful linking him with earlier generations. I've been to the original farms that he and Gabriel owned and have picutres of the family gravestones. I saw mention that he and his wife Nancy Murdock had property in Mecklinburg prior to the move to Elk Shoals in what is now Alexander Co., NC. Love to get the connection between them and the Meckinburg Alexanders, if any. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Chris You take good care of yourself. I can't imagine you having such an accident. Be sure you didn't break something! Remember I live close. I was in Hemet yesterday as a matter of fact.

I didn't know Don had copied the pictures. That explaines how the edges were cut. I guess that is his writing on the pictures. Don told me that he hunts and bargan shops in Illinois, Kentucky, and I think he said Indiana. So for me that is a big start. I believe Josephene is in my line and trying to find the rest. I will say I had put the effort away for awhile because I have been looking for families in the Parishes. If I discover no one in this album is my family I will send it on but I feel pretty sure they are my family. I will share anything anyone wants but I think Don with the copies of his photo's will be great help for anyone. The Album is made of that brown materiel that is like cordoroy, with a very faded pink flower on the top. I am surprised Don did not copy the album itself. I love having it and it has an awful lot of pictures missing. If anyone wants to help me work on these people I would it. I just have been doing other ancestry things so have not been working on it. Don, do you know what resolution you copied the pictures at. If you copied them at 300 DPI I may want a couple of the copies you made. Also can you give me a number count so I can see if you have any that I may be missing.

All i do is take a pare of dental tweesers to remove the photos that are still in the Albums i find and then scanned them and put them back where i found them. That way just in case later on down the road if someone ask for a copy i still have one handy even after getting a Album home. There for awhile i didn't do that and of course people came asking and all i could do was say sorry, but luckliy in this case you're still on here to help. I counted and unless i counted wrong i believe there is 42 in all. I never keep any out of a Album like that i've made it a policy to never break what the family put together. I'm a genealogist myself and i know how heart breaking it is to find a treasure like this just to find "grandma's" photo has been removed. I've got them scanned at 300 DPI i've learned that was best for printing, but i reduce them to 75 or 150 when i post them on here due to the size takes awhile to load. No sorry i forgot to take a photo of the out side, i thought i had but apparently i goofed on that one..lol..
