Yoder. Jay Jarrett was my great uncle and was a wealth of knowledge on the Jarretts. Un foutunely he died several years ago. I thought most of his reasearch died with him. > > Here's what I want to know. Does any one know if Morris Yoder is still living? If so how could I contact him. I will be home over Christmas and would like to meet him or some of his decendants that have information. > > Rick Lail > Vanceboro, NC > > > ==== CATAWBA-WEST Mailing List ==== > ==== CATAWBA-WEST Mailing List ==== > Sharing info on the region West of the Catawba River, NC > For further info, see http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/ > Our thanks to RootsWeb for hosting this list and web page > >
