But who knows. I have seen the names you are looking for and next time I get there I will look for you and see. Thanks Bryn >> Bryn, We are no relation to the Ethan Allen Furniture Stores, BUT we have been told by family tradition that we are related to the original Ethan Allen of the Green Mountain Boys in Vermont and revolutionary war hero. Who knows. No connection found yet. I am SLOWLY working my way back like we all have to! Mary
