Hi, I have just posted 8 new tidbits or queries of Clouse information at my site www._myfamilyconnections.homestead.com (Just click on the above link). The information is posted on the Clouse tidbit page. Please take a look at it and see if you can help these different families with information. There are two with the surnames Clause. One is of The George Clouse Sr. family, who had changed their name from Clouse to Clause. One is originally of the Close family, which could possibly tie in with Phettiplace Close. Please email me if you have any information on these families. Thanks, Sheila Rice
