Thanks Joe, I appreciate the suggestion and I have corresponded with Don. Unfortunately, I am looking for Elizabeth Bettie [married to a Nickell] mothers family which would not be Nickell. I am not sure if her name was Baker or what it was but Don doesn't have any information on her family. Thank you so much for your help though.
