Let's just be thankful we are all live in America and not worry too much about where our European roots are. I have a couple or three other lines that have been traced to various places in Europe, mostly England and Scotland, but I have faith in only one of them. Mrs. Eidson spent several months doing research on that family in England and many more in this country, so I'm confortable with that line. Another goes back to 587 AD. I might believe that line back to 1500 or so, but not much further. To reiterate, I'm glad I'm an American and a Virginian (hey, maybe not in that order). Dick Hamrick Staunton, VA rhamrick@cfw.com
