Hi Michelle, I have thought about this all afternoon. I do not intend to hurt anyone. Monroe Patrick Parker is my first cousin. He and his family joined the morman church and had to do a family tree. He just took family say so without documentation and gave to the Morman Church. This the reason we can not take LDS as fact. It can be used for research but please do your own documentation. I will see Patrick at the Parker family reunion the first weekend in Aug., 2000. I will try to get him to get this straight, if he can. I understand that one can not go back and take out mistakes. If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks for your help. It looks like this list is finally going to come to life. I am forever grateful.
