Salut! Hi! I have a question -- in doing research on the PRAIRIE line, I came across the surname PURKEY from Momence. I have been wracking my brain all day trying to figure out WHAT French-Canadian name that could have been originally. Alphonsine PURKEY married Jesse PRAIRIE. She was the daughter of a Joseph PURKEY. All help is appreciated! ~~Bren --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.
