Donna "In Mr. Eldred's books, does he discuss any of the family that retained the original "Eldred" spelling? My family is "Eldred" and I have not been able to make much progress with them over the years. In case there may be some Eldred information in your books, is there any mention of Frederick Hoyt Eldred (b. 1826 d. 1910) m to Sarah Augusta Sutherland (d. 1883)? I think these people dropped out of the sky and landed in Colorado! Thanks, Lori Williams" .
