Wanda, Hi! Just thought I'd drop you a note. I gave Betty the information you sent me and I think she was pretty happy getting it! Did I tell you I gave the wrong name of the cousin her mother used to write to (her mother passed away in '94, I believe)? I don't know where I went wrong, but I sure got confused! Betty's mother was 98 when she passed away, but to have written to the one I had down, I think she would have had to be closer to 150! It was a Mrs.Royce Christy. She did live in Huntington, KS, I believe she told me. Doesn't remember her first name. Does that name sound familiar? Well, I'm glad you have ties to Iowa. Most of the pioneer families are darn good people! (Wouldn't give too much for some of the imports, though.) Betty didn't say whether there was more she needed, unless you have something on Matthias House and/or his wife, Susan Floyd. They are supposed to be "Frankie" 's parents? I wonder if there is any proof of that? Francis/Frankie was Peter V. Jarvis' wife-have I got *that* straight?? It's kinda hard to try to help someone else with their research, I'm finding out! I get more respect for researchers every day!! Thanks so much for your help! Janis
