I think *anything* COVEY is of interest to the group, so, here's a message I just received today. Thanks, Debbi. We all work on different lines off and on. That's why I think surname mailing lists are a big plus! Even if you're not "into" that line at the time, you can save the postings and review them at another time, when all attention is on that family. As I understand it, after reviewing the COVEY material on Sam COVEY of Ontario b. c1848 - the main problem at hand is to prove without doubt, which COVEY family he fits in to, right? Can anyone shed more light on this? Pam in Orlando >Pam, > >I've just picked up working on my furstrating COVEY line after a taking a >break to work on the Sweeney's for a while.
