Thanks Kate.. looks like we are distant family =) I'm trying to get a little more info. One of my aunts had a nice detailed family tree of ours.. and lost it, and now refuses to admit she ever had it. So, all is lost. Anyway.. I'm still piecing mine together, and taking all of this info. By the way.. can anyone recommend a good genealogy software? --- Erik Parker --- > [email protected] composed on Feb 7, 2003: > The Ella Cloud in the SSDI (1898-1990) is my grandmother.
