Susan, You might see if the county that he was born in has an index of wills, also check surrounding counties. Perhaps when his parents died, they left a will and you could check under the same surnames. This might work if you're lucky, especially if the name is not too common. Good Luck! -Cindy ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
