Many thanks to Tom, Char, & Debbie for taking the time to answer my request. You've opened some new doors (an unknown step-son to track down!) and confused me with two sons who supposedly ran away prior to 1880 but are still listed! But I do appreciate it! Thanks again! --Celia :o) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Celia Hartmann [email protected] OR [email protected] Researching direct lines in St. Clair Co, IL: HARTMANN, MESSENGER, LANDOLT/LANDOLPH, LEACH, LYON WorldConnect Database: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~celia
