THANKS FOLR YOUR REPLY RON. I WANT TO TELL YOU OF PERHAPS THE MOST FAMOUS COUCH IN OUR FAMILY. ROBERT M. COUCH OF BIRMINGHAMN IS IN OUR GROUP 5 DNA TEST AND HE IS A KNOW ANCESTOR OF THE REALLY FAMOUS HARVEY COUCH OF ARKANSAS. HARVEY COUCH NEVER FINISHED ANY FORMAL SCHOOLING BUT FOUNDED THE ARKANSAS LIGHT & POWER COMPANY, THE MISSISSIPPI LIGNT AND POWER COMPANY, ONE OF THE FIRST TELEPHONE COMPANIES IN LOUSIANA OWNED SEVERAL RAILROADS, TELEPHONE COMPANIES, WATER WORKS, RADIO STATIONS AND WAS A GREAT FRIEND OF FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT. TWO SEPARATE BIOGRAPHIES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON HIM. I HAVE AN APPENDIX IN MY BOOK (ONE ALABAMA COUCH FAMILY) AND IT LISTS ALL THE FAMOUS COUCHES INCLUDING MY MOTHER AND MY CHILDREN. I WANTED TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW WE RELATE TO TIM COUCH. I TOO AM PRODUD TO CLAIM HIM. ALONG WITH HARVEY COUCH HE IS INDEED ONE OF OUR MOST FAMOUS FAMILY MEMBERS. LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HIS LINE. I HAVE HIS FATHER, MOTHER, GRANDFATHER AND GREAT GRANDFATHERS NAME. SOMEONE EARLIER INFORMED ME HE WAS KIN BUT I FORGET WHO. ROBERT H.
