Krealyn... yes, we have emailed to one another before ... Part of our problem are the many lines that don't seem to connect mixed in with ones that do seem to connect. The Shipp, Robinson and Nickells seem to be solid connections. I am going to contact a new Shipp connection I have received and see if I can find anything for us..... I am also forwarding your email to some other family members to see if they have anything to add ..... I sure appreciate all that you have run down for us ..... gary Gary D.
