I apologise if this offends, but humor is the only way I can cope with this situation. Having consulted 3 (that's right, 3) of the experts on this list, I have comte to the conclusion that my mother-in-law is either a nightmare or a demon! Her grandfather DOES NOT EXIST! Washington Jonah Coe was married in 1883 in Platte Missouri. This is confirmed in the HFC records. He and his wife Hattie had 5 Children, then disappeared. The children were born in Kansas City Missouri, and according to their Grandaughter, my mother-in-law, they died there. However, the State of Missouri hasno death Certificates. Kansas wanted $ 25 each to even look, so maybe after the tax refund (though more likely I'll buy propane). So unless one of the documented Coes had a child they aren't talking about--born on the wrong side of the blanket?--they must have been either demons or aliens. Sorry for the triviality, but I was getting depressed about this situation, and needed to vent. ===== Debby Pittsburg, Kansas, USA Leolady@cpol.net DebEpperly@yahoo.com http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/1562/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
