Lack of evidence only proves a lack of evidence. My grandmother is a Tibbitt, her father is from Maryland. I can trace back to his grandfather. Now, there are Tibbitts all over the area, but I can't PROVE their relationship. Family history claims he came over with Lord Baltimore, but I can't prove that either. Doesn't mean that he didn't. But that doesn't mean that he did, either. When the family asks, I say I can't prove anything one way or the other. They always respond with an indignant "But great grand-pa said!" In THIS case, there is no evidence he knew anything; he wasn't the progenitor who came over. For all I know, we're descended from a Georgia convict. -- }:-) Christopher Jahn {:-( http://home.comcast.net/~xjahn/Main.html Der Gedanke an den Selbstmord ist ein starkes Trostmittel.
