I have just found that a relative that we have been unable to locate was adopted by an Andrew Sheppard sometime after 1830 and before 1850. We are looking for information on the Sheppard family and Patrick Henry Carter, the adoptee. | | Thanks for any help you can give us. | Sue Carter | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message |
