Hello to all, I decided to follow the spirit of Allan's and Tim's suggestions and place this post under a separate Subject Heading so not to complicate the "Common Courtesy" thread, which is, probably, coming to an end by now. (Hopefully, you say... lol). One thing I would like to see, if I haven't already and have just been confused when I *did* see it... on the SHEELY list I'm on, there are, basically, three (3) lines from which all SHEELYs (in the US) descend... I know there are "boo-coos" of GREENs out there, but, is it possible, to trace them all to a relative few "original" GREENs?? For example, I know there is John of Quidnesset, John the Surgeon (or are these two the same "John"?), the Duff Greens, Gen'l Nathaniel Green(e) and Thomas the Seagull (probably others that I can't glean from the *many* informative posts out there)... Perhaps Tom or Neal or Ron (who are probably all sorry now that they "revealed" themselves) or someone else who has had the time and the inclination to put all of these Ancestors in one central location could simplify the massive number of GREEN Ancestors and simply list (with Name, Date, Place or Migration Trail) the Earliest GREENs in their database. Am I asking an impossible task? (Probably). Oh well, we can always dream, can't we? Thanks, Melinda
