A number of times, the very young ones were given the surname of the family who raised them. That messes up a lot of research, and puts question marks after the names! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 12:00 AM Subject: NCWAKE Digest, Vol 1, Issue 12 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
