Aida : "JEAN" < JEAN74@TAMPABAY.RR.COM> Subject: Zickler Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 15:17:45 -0500 Hello Aida: Thanks for the information, but my ips removed the attachment, but not to worry did check the maps and its seem more off a distance than they could travel in the 1700s unless there was a post road with stops. Was there such a road? My Grandfather was born in house# 15. which came into the family from mother , his ggrandmother was a Zickler and I feel that the house #15, originally belong to the Zicklers. Is there any way of finding this out, I have researcher who looking for things for me, I will ask him to see what he can find. Jean in Fl
