Jeanne - This most definitely helps. That is my family for sure. Selinda and Thomas were my ggrandparents, one of the daughters of Selinda was my grandma McCormick in Fremont Co, IA. Interesting, I have FTM vol 3, and thought I'd looked at all of these CDs for my family and never found them before. I'll check family tree 2812. Thanks for the information. The Loyd/LLoyd name is spelled both ways, depends on which of the 24 children one descends from. Interesting, huh? You'd think they'd all use the same spelling. On Selinda's name, I've found it Selinda, Zilinda, Zilindia, Celinda, you name it. She was illiterate, so it was up whoever to spell it how they wanted, I guess. Thank you very much. Now - any way I can help you?? At 03:52 PM 6/8/98 -0700, you wrote: >>>> <excerpt><smaller>Hi Kay, Could your LOYD be LLOYD??? I found some strange coincidences in Family Tree Maker Vol. 3 Tree # 2812 almost all information coming from MONONA Co. Records. There are only 2 Rileys in the tree. One Benjamin Riley one whose 1st name is unknown , he married a MARTHA LLOYD. She was 1 of 12 children..Her parents were THOMAS LLOYD and Zelindia THOMPSON : County records, Cem. Records and Family records disagree on the name "ZELINDIA > SALINDA> SELINDA" (b) 3/30/1838 Ind. Monona Co. Rec. has Thomas Lloyd (b) 4/7/1813 in VA moved to Tenn., then in 1850 to Davis Co. Iowa and in 1853 to Appanoose Co. Died 9/14/1896 Ute Iowa. Remember, these are the parents of a Mr. Riley and Martha Lloyd. Seems many family members are buried in St. Clair Cem. This could be a source of much info. or nothing. It just caught my eye when almost all verification came from Monona Co. There are over 800 individuals named in this tree. Oh, by the way, this was Thomas Lloyds 2nd wife.... he also had 12 children by his 1st wife Elizabeth Morton... He sired **24 children** Boy do I hope this helps... so many people have been kind to me doing look-ups ... but if not, it was fun snoopin' around lookin' for STUFF. Let me know either way, okay? Jeanne PS There are 3 Thomas Lloyds in the tree 1 Beeson 2 Browns 1 Masterson and 1 Mc Cormack </smaller> </excerpt><<<<<<<< Kay Masterson Researching: Baker, Barnes, Beeson, Brown, Boone, Chapman, Dement, Dodge, Jackson, Mendenhall, Mills, Sadler, Scholl, Talcott, Ball Gibbons, Kuhns, Loyd, McCormick, Thompson, Masterson. http://www.snowcrest.net/yreka/kay
