Carolyn you are so right, i got a bit too quit on the draw, so used to seeing pc, we are of the same mind and probably came to these conclusions doing genealogy. Thanks for all you are putting up for us. I know it is a lot of work. In my lines Quakers played a part in Goochland, Henrico, mine didn't stay with them like you said. STANLEY is prob. my ???? gggggm as one of the ALVIS ladies was listed at the wedding of McGehee, i think. goes to show you can find bits in Quaker records that will place your ancestor for you. forgive if this is a bit disjointed as my 2nd harddrive disappeared yesterday with all my gen records and windows doesn't know it is there. i had a stuck key on my keyboard, an error came up on startup, i decided to go into set up, F1, I kept trying to get the kegs to work and hit default settings, of course the keyboard worked then..... i flew down to office depot and got a $15 logitech installed but windows will only read the original dirve that came with the puter 4 years ago. ah well, we'll worry about that tomorrow. cheers, cousin, josie At 12:12 AM 2/11/01 -0800, you wrote: >Dear Cousin Josie, and Cousins on the List: > Josie, you are always interesting!
