I've just uploaded the most current version of my Elam database onto the website at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/9156/elammain.htm Many thanks to all of you who have contributed information. This by no means reflects all of the information I have received. I've still got a couple of large stacks to go through, but it had been a couple of months and I have added quite a few names. I'm up to 11320 individuals and 4077 families representing 2020 surnames! Here's hoping this helps someone make a breakthrough. I have also added two photographs of John Daniel Elam and his family which were contributed by Kent Elam. I will gladly add photos that anyone else has -- just drop me a line. The same goes for any other information that you would like to contribute. One more thing. I've also added a copy of the original handwritten pages from the Richard and Hannah Elam family bible. They're rather difficult to read, but I think they're interesting. There is an excellent transcription of them on Janet Crowley's website at http://www.webpak.net/~kyblue/elam/biblerec.htm Happy hunting! Cassie A. Elam www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/6831
