Marti at this time I got half way thru your letter to me and am telling you now at this time the information Marie Garrison had was someof my information and research I had done since 1973 and believe me I do not need someone telling me how to do research I have been doing it for over 30 years when all the info was not readily available as it is now and of course I use cold Hard facts as you say but I also use family histories so you can just stop talking of Marie and her information this is my information I am going on Her file is a complete separate file from mine. I am in Missouri now doing some more research for COLD hard facts as you call them and will not be getting back with you till I am back in Colorado as all my Cold hard facts are there Thank you for your time in sending me emails and I respect your research wholeheartedly and remember I am only trying to explain some of the information to you but also I am in a whole lot of directions at once with my life and will TRY to get back with you It is Too bad that a lot of persons were not able to talk with older generations before they passed away and learned all the great family information that is also handed down as I was given the opportunity to do from as early as the 1950's And then to be also in this time and age be able to go out and proof most of it which has been over 30 years of work. Keep up your research and please do not be so cut in iron sometimes and enjoy your research and genealogy work as you go alone Best to you Rena
