This message for Joe Downing (sender) or anyone else who might have response or answer. Below, Joe refers to the Downing family of Madison and Ross Counties OH who live concurrently with "other Downings whose relationship is complicated." All of genealogy on its face is complicated, by degrees. What does he mean by the "relationship is complicated."???? Is this a skeletons and closet relationship, said to exist in every family???? We don't explore these forbidden corridors in the genealogy field, but if anyone has the answer or even a clue, please answer. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Downing, Joe <jdown@nettally.com> To: DOWNING-L@rootsweb.com <DOWNING-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, October 12, 1998 6:34 AM Subject: Re: [DOWNING-L] Maryland-Ohio Downing Family >The John Downing family of Pike Co,OH (he son of Timothy Downing & Sarah) >went to Morris Co, KS. and there is a Downing cemetery in the area which is >his family.
