Boy, I have to agree. Seems all the GREENS liked warmer weather. I'm still hunting for a missing GREEN in Ohio and most all the postings involve VA,GA,TN,KY, etc. I'm not either a 'Yankee' or 'Rebel' cause I was born in NM. Guess that makes me a New Mexican. Anyway, I am still searching for Jennie(or any derivative thereof) and Rosella GREEN, born Ohio, 1870, 25 Sept. That's all that I have, no parents listed on death certificate.
