A.T. What's wrong with trying to find documentation? Yes, we may never find exactly what we're looking for but we are always finding more data, more information, and more cousins! I think before you arbitrarily give up and rely solely on circumstanial evidence it sure doesn't hurt to look for supporting documentation. I am very thankful for all who do research and are willing to share what they uncover. I dare say our group would have the weath of information that we do were it not for those folks who press on looking for "authenticity". Yep, years ago the state didn't want to support all those "ill conceived" children but they sure don't have to worry today because the federal government supports the bulk of this country! Sylvia
