This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZS.2ADI/83.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Debbie, thanks so much....I was so excited last nite to see that there is another Dupree book and I am so anxious to find out all about it. Do appreciate your sending me the Rev's e-mail address...I will contact him right away. Although I know that all of us Duprees are related, I really don't know anyone in Houston except have been contacted by some Thigpens in the past. My ancestors are directly "off the boat" from France in 1700....the original Louis (Loys, Lewis,whatever) actually settled within 35 miles of my home here in Franklin, VA (the area called Low Ground Road new Emporia, VA....actually was in Isle of Wight County, Brunswick County, and then Greensville County, Va without ever moving) and I just found out in the last couple of years. They eventually migrated to NC and apparently my branch didn't get much further.....although all the "cousins" moved on. Perhaps we can share info. Thanks again, Linda
