Thank you Doris' I have been failing to see the light. Thank you for turning it on. I have been searching for several years looking for a mysterious James William GREEN, and his family. At one time I suspected RI as being from where his family orignated, but I just kept searching in VA. He names a son Alonzo, and throughout the directly connected generations, the name Alonzo and William have been used as a name up until the early 1900's. I find this name Alonzo GREEN first in RI. It seems to just suddenly appear after the Revolutionary War in VA. Your postings have turned on the light. I always have time for GREEN messages and when I do not, I also subscribe to the digest. Thank you again Doris. Sincerely, Douglas Anderson
