Writing letters to other people with a stamped self addressed envelope enclosed is kinda like winning the lotto. It does work. I'd like to share one letter I just ran across looking for something else. It's a letter from Cecil T. Dover in Birmingham, Alabama dated 1996. Cecil tells me that he is 77 years old and has been deaf since the age of 19 months from a childhood disease. He goes on to tell me his family going back to Sherman Dover who married Vicie Blackwood. >From my records that marriage took place in 1886 Blount Co., AL (thanks to Terry Jackson). The marriage record shows R. S. Dover who I believe is Richard S. Dover, son of Burton Dover and Nancy Page married in Gilmer Co., GA in 1854. Burton is a strong probable as being the son of Frederick and Jane Dover. Please contact me if you have any connections. Cecil wrote a very gracious and informative letter. I'll be glad to give you his mailing address. Know all his kids names too. Cecil is surrounded by kin in Birmingham and Alabama that he doesn't know about. It's true of all of us. I've got another letter from Alabama that I'm going to look for too. Dennis
