Hello Trevor, Manchester, Tn., What is the secret of finding someone born in Tennessee? Like my G. Grand father--John Caswell Russell b. 6/15/1823 from Tn. per 1850 Williamson Co., IL. census. Phil Russell Edwardsville, IL.

Happy Holidays to all! In spite of the list rules it is fun to hear from everyone everywhere. I was surprised today to see messages from Gilbert, Arizona - I live close by in Tempe and just a couple of messages later one from my home town of Bethalto, Illinois! Saline County has spread its influence all over I guess. Jane Anderson Family Connections to Saline County: Stricklin, Johnson, Gray, Murphy, and probably everyone else too!

Sure wish you had a picture to share of this. I grew up in Flint, MI but have lived in FL since 1967. A white Christmas is what I miss most because of my fondest childhood memories. Merry Christmas to all.
