Dear Cousins, Having read about Paul Crunk's Presley Davenport of VA and his possible connection to Davis Davenport of VA, I suddenly remembered that this Saturday, 8 Jan 2000, marks the 65th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley (my idol when I was a teenager) of MS (Mississippi, not Microsoft ;-). I wondered if there might be a connection between the Davenport and Presley surnames (Davis > Elvis?) and decided to find out. I found my answers on RootsWeb (our benefactor), of all places. Alas, no connection is apparent (however, I did find out that Elvis is probably a cousin of ex-President Jimmy Carter). For anyone wishing to learn more about the ancestors of Elvis, please visit http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/notable/elvis.htm Even if you don't care about Elvis or his ancestors, you should visit this page because it contains links that will help you find information about other "notables", including Ahnentafels of each of the American Presidents (in progress). For those of you on the list that are not "American" (the number of you are growing and your presense is *very* welcome), I invite you to write directly to RootsWeb and volunteer to help them become a little more "International" in scope. They have limited resources (less than 10% of the people who benefit from the vast information they provide actually donate to help keep it going) and they can use all the help they can get with collecting and publishing valuable data (i. e. Free BMD records from England, etc.). Regards, Nevada Jack ListManager Jack@Ralph.org
