Hope to call you in the next day or two. It is exciting to hear from you. Have you been finding other cousins in your search for family? I hope so. As we write and/or call each other I can fill you in on a lot of recent Ralston cousins in our part of our family. Like you I also have a copy of the George Ralston book. That book led me to discover our Ewing ancestors through the 'Family Tree Maker' program almost five years ago. There is information in that data base about many of our grandparents (g-grandparents, g-g-grandparents ... g-g-g-g-g-grandparents, etc.) dating back to the 1600s. If all are in agreement, I can put you in touch with those who put together that information. I received my copy of Aunt Doris (Ralston) Wedo's book back in 1976, so the book must be at least 26 years old already. Seems like the years since then have flown by! Thank you for offering to help in my own search for ancestors. Would love to share, and to learn from you and to hopefully help you find new family information as well. Mom and I went to the Cresco reunion for the first time last year. Several of us hope to go to next years reunion. Would love to meet you there. Wonder if we met each other last year? I think I met a Melody there. She was really nice. While in Iowa, took pictures of family gravesites. You can see some of them at findingancestors.homestead.com
