I just found out about William and Caroline. I am awaiting something from a woman who has Eliza in her line. I know where they all went from there. You don't possibly have their information in a .ged file do you. I would really appreciate it. Do you know who the ancestors of William and Caroline were? Let me know what you need. If I have it, it is yours. Lee jennifer johanson wrote: > This is my family!
