hi sharon, (and all) well, i am going to guess that one of those mormon bearce lines is from the Reed/Bearce (Levi Ward Reed) connection as i have been following that one closely, but what is the other?? I have ordered a couple more census coming very soon and hope to peice a few things together. also just found out about and ordered william burton's probate record!!! really hoping it list some relatives in it! also found some folks in hickory, MO who have been doing some lookups for me and found some really good leads- and more names of briggs, reed and burton to follow up on there, so been very busy- but excited. i feel like i am moving forward again. it is nice to be back on the list- i missed everyone. my dad is doing ok, but looks like my folks are going to need to move closer to me for some help (they are 9 hours away!) and both in poor health now. but, with all this, still can't miss a day of researching someone! LOL my love to you all! cousin debi
