Hi Linda In my reply re:Gene, I was voicing my mistrust with Gene and no way any reference to you. I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. Being you are a "Genealogy Digging" beginner, one thing I would suggest is to ask folks on this list about various places to look for any connection to your ancestor. When asking, your ancestor's birth and death dates are as important as their name. Also of importance is something about where they lived, and even where born if you know. If you know the spouses name, tell us that also. You might want to read the archieved emails for this list. You can find them here... _http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/LAWSON/_ (http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/LAWSON/) Hope these suggestions help a bit...Lois .
