All I Want For Christmas Dear Santa: Don't bring me new dishes; I don't need a new kind of game. Genealogists have peculiar wishes; For Christmas I just want a surname. A new washing machine would be great, But it isn't the desire of my life. I've just found an ancestor's birth date, Now I need the name of his wife. My heart doesn't yearn for a ring that would put a real diamond to shame. What I want is a much cheaper thing: Please give me Martha's last name. To see my heart singing with joy, Don't bring me a red leather suitcase. Bring me a genealogist's toy: A surname, with dates and a place. == Author Unknown And all I want for Christmas is where Richard Bradley b. ca 1780 m. 27 Nov 1805 in Wilkes Co., NC to Sarah (Sally) Mooney, went to Montgomery Co., IL, was the last years of his life and where he died? Please, dear Santa? Regards, Shirley Williams
