Ray, They say all the families in Meacham & Omega Twp are related (often more than one way) and I have no doubt that it is true. The Courson connections are just by marriage. Just in those 2 townships I have lines of Hanks, Wilkinson, Combs, Crutchfield, Greene & Roberts. Elsewhere in Marion County I have Gray, Anderson & Boughers.

I may be looking at the wrong one. But they are all related even if Keith and Erma say that they are not. Ray --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Ron Would you happen to have any information on Earl Courson and wife Matty Wilson? I have their son Arthur on down but would sure love to have some information on on his parents and siblings to complete his part of my tree. Thanks in advance.

Sandy, Sorry but I don't have anything on Earl Courson. Perhaps Gwen or Steve would have something?

Rod, Ron, Shari and others! You people are going make me get to work. The gedcom that I have in the computer only contains my direct line and very few siblings. I mainly use it to print a tree for my grandkids when they need one for school when they are studying their"roots". Some of their teachers are impressed and some are not because all they had to do is call grandpa. :-) I will be glad to share it when it would be meaningful to more people. Someone rattle my cage later in the winter when I have some time to work on it. Thanks J. Ray Young --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
