Hi, Dick! I followed through on your suggestion that Asa's birth might be recorded in Middlesex, VT. but they have no record of it. Oh, well! I have some other ideas- I'll be sure to let you know how they pan out... In the meantime, it's my EXTREME pleasure to introduce a *new* family member! Miss Viola Delaney Murray born September 15, 1999 in Brown County, Ohio ( just a few miles from where ol' Asa settled). Viola joined us at 8:10 pm and weighed in at 8lbs, 6oz. Mom, Dad, and Delaney are all doing fine (I love being a Gramma!) Lynn :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
