Hi Steve, This is awful, but I'm not sure exactly what info it was that I sent you. The ole "Atwood" files have seen a flurry of activity lately and I've received several emails from people regarding the Atwoods of Sanderstead. I've got a bit on hard disk but the complication with me currently is that I'm in the midst of moving to the Midwest-about 900 miles from where I live now and everything is CHAOS! Please hang onto my email address, I'll hang onto yours and when I get settled --along about the second week of July--I'll take a deep breath and go through what I've got. I've got to respond to several people, including Brad Potts but it's just going to take some time. I'll be delighted to share what I have. Take care, Nancy Harding --If you'd like my current mailing address: 731 W. Kivett St. #12B Asheboro, NC 27203 --- Jeal & Steve Atwood <[email protected]> wrote: > Nancy, > > Thanks for this great info. I didn't ask for it but > sent an old email back > to the petitioner.
