Dolores, Thanks for responding. And it is so nice to know there is someone right in the county --- and the way you describe it, it sounds wonderful! Could you share a little bit more about the Winchester family and the time period or people they married -- as other lines might be involved? In fact, if you could write up a brief bio -- and post it, that would be on-line and that might bring in some connections. They don't have to be elaborate at all...but sometimes you discover more as you attempt to put it together in a story. http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ This is a page for forms, which make it easy for you to post.
