Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Is anyone researching the Chritten family of Livingston Co? One of the Chritten's married a Bell and their Children were raised by Christopher Chritten circa 1880. The Chritten's also married into the Drake family and they came to Livingston Co., IL Would love to find fellow researchers and compare notes! Thanks, Margaret >>
