This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: APPERSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZGB.2ACEB/110 Message Board Post: Greetings- I found an envelope that is being auctioned on Ebay right now that appears to be from a John G. Apperson. Since I'm not familiar with the old style of handwriting, will someone please look at the posting and see if I have the name right? I am not an Apperson, will not be buying this, am certainly not selling it, but hope that one of you will recognize whether I've got the name right & let me know. It is quite similar to a family name on my tree and I have trouble with the old style of penmanship.
