To demonstrate why I am so grateful, here are a couple of new items in your research report. 1. I didn't know my grandfather Hile's first name was in fact William. We have "William's" all over our family tree. 2. You have provided a specific date of Alice's death, making the obituary search that much earsier. I have been (vainly) focusing my efforts to confirm or deny that her father William - yet another one - was from Virginia. This specific date may help. 3,. Juicy little sugggestion that great grandfather William and great grandmother Alice may have been a little naughty. Blame it on his time in Civil War. Baby boomers and all that. 4. Finally, thanks to your earlier contribution, I found a second cousin once removed (Naughty Alice's great great grandson) living in Ohio. I sent him an introductory letter, forwarded a picture I have of Kate, and asked if he had any old family photos. Who knows where it all may lead...due largely to your contribution. Thanks again.
