Mar Garsh, this is November, isn't it? Somehow it managed to stay in my inbox. I have searched the NAIL system. They are adding more all the time. But they are adding my Adcock criminals. Well, maybe that was one criminal listed a few times. http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html Then there are some of my Adcock Indians. Well, you know how Mom or someone said there is Indian blood in our line and she wouldn't give me a clue besides "look at that picture, you can tell there is Indian in her/him." Then all of the relatives ask you if you have heard that there was Cherokee, or some other 5 tribes in our bloodline..... and you don't even know how to start to find them........None of my squaws had last names. Good luck with your searches. gf >Reply-To: <cindyldq@midwest.net> >From: "cindy leonard" <cindyldq@midwest.net> >To: <smckenzi@midwest.net> >Cc: <glofra@townsqr.com> >Subject: FYI - #1 >Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 13:15:12 -0500 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1157 > >From "The Family Tree" by The Odom Library, P.O.
