Regarding the Purcell family - Are you sure you have all the information correct? I looked up the family in my published copy of the 1880 Madison Co IL census and there are no Purcell's in Edwardsville Township. Also the ages of Frank and Della seem to be somewhat off with regard to the children in that time period. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
