Sylvia, Does this "lawyer" know about the Ellis Loop? Maybe I speak for more than myself when I say I am more than just a lil interested in this book!!! I would love to add my family info..if it so lends itself, and to purchase it!! Do you think he would be willing to add more? I am related to the Va. Ellises who moved to SC and to ALand then to MS. My GGGGrandfather stayed in Tuscaloosa Al til his Death( I am pretty sure) and, my family moved from Al in 1880 to Arkansas where they have been ever since. Would you mind, when you correspond with him again, finding out if he is interested in adding more information..continuing the lines out from VA.. I would love to purchase a book like that and perhaps pepople here wouldn't mind adding their information also. Thanks! Kat
