Too bad there is no way of knowing if this HATCHER/CREWE connection is my tree or another well documented HATCHER/CREWE tree in Newfoundland (yes both of them) and there is no apparent connection at this time... Strangely, there are two unrelated Laura Pearl CREWE'S approx same age in Newfoundland. My sincere gratitude to all who have shared their family tree information freely. Paying it forward is my way of showing others I'm grateful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:16:33 EDT From: Rdbikerbob2@aol.com Subject: [HATCHER] search To: hatcher@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <d2b.331fa4e4.35e57851@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi Nel, When I search for Ward Hatcher, the search results are Edward Hatcher. There is no Ward Hatchers on our files?
