Hi John, Thanks for your e-mail to Joe. I don't think he is a subscriber to this list but he had asked me to forward his letter to the list. Vickie Lomon and I forward any of your messages that we think Joe would be interested in reading. About my own family: I go from Kentucky to Illinois and search in the cellar archives of county courthouses, libraries and genealogy societies. My information is documented for my family through Joseph Edward Daniel, Sr. However, I can't find anything in those areas for our "Brick Wall", Edward Daniel, Sr. and his wife, Anna unknown. It is obvious that you do have information about thousands of surnames, but Vickie, Joe and I aren't aware that you have any concrete information for our lines. Vickie and Joe do have documention and have both done much research. I have only been doing genealogy about 10 years. Best wishes and Happy Hunting! Evelyn Daniel/Daniels Hansson
