I have a bit of a problem. I am sorry to find out that Dollie Mae (WOOD) WALTERS 1917-2005, recently passed away. She was married to Orvin Lee (aka Olen) WALTER (with no S at end of surname), who was a Grandson to Christian John WALTER (no S), b. Hannover Province, Germany and Mary Anna KLINK 1839-1923, b. Wurttemberg, Germany. The WALTERS family origin seem to be TN, while the WALTER family origin are from Germany. The two surnames are often confused, esp. with the "S". Could someone confirm that Olen (Orivin Lee) WALTER is the grandson of Christian J. and Mary A. WALTER? I know that some WATERS/WATTERS are confused with WALTERS also, not to mention the WALTHER family. thanks.... -- -- -:¦:- *CarolSue* -:¦:- -- (blessed to be on the beautiful NW California-Pacific Coast) Life's a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest. - Wilson Mizner
