(JSC-EA) (NASA) Subject: Re: {not a subscriber} T.J.Bradford Hi Max. You need to subscribe to the list before you can post, I know it's a hassle, but it keep the list from being bombarded with spam. Send your request to Bradford-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word subscribe in the body of the message. Once you get confirmation that you were successfully subscribed, resend this post to the list (Bradford-L@rootsweb.com *no "-request"). I read you're post quickly before responding and I do recognize the names in this query as other have posted questions on Thomas Jefferson Bradford as well. I can tell you now this is not my line, but it would be good to focus your search in the Granville Co., NC and surrounding counties. Good luck. Erin Bradford --- "KILBOURN, MAX B.
