Robbie, I am a little confused. First below you state one of the problem records is one of a James M. Gotcher (specific interest of mine since I am trying to find the Unknow Goatcher who was married to Elizabeth Smithee Goatcher. However, when I go to the web site the problem record is a John Gotcher. It is really no problem but would like any and all assistance trying to find the unknown goatcher for he would be my Great Great Grandfather. I have signed up for an account today and will utlize the web site as soon as I confirm e-mail.
