M.P. Melvin, barber shop in Grayson circa 1915. Any descendants? I need data. Lydia

If you send me some more of the Melvins to my personal e-mail of [email protected] I can see if we have any in our Melvin tree. We have a rather large tree of Melvin, Melvine, Mead and Meades on one side of my husband's and I am always looking for more. We don't have a M.P. listed as yet though. I am always eager to hear from anyone else on these lines as well Russell generating from Mathias Russell and Evaline Fields. Lydia Justice Edwards <[email protected]> wrote: M.P.

Oh, if we could only find a few more researchers like David RIGGS, our work would be done. Because there was an influx of RIGGS into Pike, Adams and Brown Counties, IL, from places like Carter Co., KY, you may find something of interest in your surname. And you will notice that he uses a different genealogy program, one that allows notes and trees, to be attached. And as David says in the first line of his Home page - The purpose of this page is to facilitate discussion between those actively researching Rigg family history. I take that to mean that he will be glad to discuss any additions/correction that you may have to his data. http://www.number-one.org/~rigg/ghtindex.htm

Dear Mr. Reeder, I thank you very much. I am writing a story set in 1915 when the bond for an accused murderer was $20,000. So you helped me figure the value in today's dollar.

So I googled and hit a site that had an article that addressed the issue of 1927 money compare to 1998 money. $100 fine not exactly a slap on the wrist.
