Thanks Angelyn, but Charlie IS the fellow that thinks " Nancy Jane Lipsic Black Brashier" was the figment of an evil plot here....and that 395 families and over 1000 pages of testimony were out to defraud the goverment. Can you imagine.!! He is the very one who has cast this branch of our family in such a bad light in one of his books.. It is very frustrating and saddens us all to say the very least.. I am just trying to clean up their reputation. That is an awful thing for him to have said about a family just because he has said there is no document to prove otherwise. Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack .... any other ideas ? what would you do..as I said I need some new suggestions here. I don't plan to let this go on, if I can help it. allbest Susanna ----- Original Message ----- From: "ANGELYN CUNNINGHAM" <angelync@msn.com> To: <CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 6:37 PM Subject: RE: [CHOCTAW-SE] Miss.
