I'll be happy to E-mail you my street address, but I really don't mind listing it here; you see, I think it is important that other family researchers can get a hold of me, if they need to; especially if I should experience some down time, or if I should change servers. I cannot tell you how many times my E-mails have been returned as "undeliverable" after sending a reply to a query on some USGENWEB site! Wow, the links that you posted are great! Why, I even found a record of my GG-Grandpa's mother-in-law, LIDA A. MESSENGER MCCARVER (b. Jan. 8, 1860 in NY); she passed away on Feb. 25, 1943 in Lassen Co., CA, and is buried there in Susanville; this came as a big shock to me since she has a gravestone next to her husband's (no death date is listed) in Scranton Cemetery, Eastland Co., TX! Actually, Lida was the stepmother of GG-Grandpa Lorenzo's wife, LOLA A. MCCARVER RICHARDSON. Lida married Lola's Dad, THOMAS JEFFERSON MCCARVER (b. July 6, 1852 in MS; d. Dec.18, 1927 in TX) on Nov. 21, 1877 in Graham, Young Co., TX -- when Lola was 2 years old. Lola's real mother was also a RICHARDSON, believe it or not!
