We are looking for the family of Perceval/Percival and wondering for whom Percival IA is named? Curiously enough, the semi-royalty Percevals landed in Bedford IA and then St. Joseph MO before going on to Alberta. Given that the Perceval name gets the other spelling regularly, we were just wondering if you could tell us about the small place. Sincerely. Gord Young Editor Lakefield Heritage Research ---------- Sincerest thanks to you for this grand and splendid help. This is indeed the very same family, with their variant spelling. It fully explains why the Percevals were out in there in Bedford Iowa...farming but, likely watching what was going on with the family affairs. Please thank Walter. Sincerest thanks and every good wish to you and yours. Gord
