Lynda, Please don't you give up either. Just today I received a snail mail letter, complete with charts, from an Auvie Allen Bailey in Midland, Texas. Mr. Bailey's very detailed charts trace his lineage from South Carolina. I'm going to enter his data and yours into a file separate from my group. Hopefully, there will be a connection, for you if not for me. I will let you know... but I am slow. You mail email me if you like... sandiet@uscsumter.edu sandiet Lynda Lindsey wrote: > > I have been trying to find out about LINDSEYs in Crystal Springs, > since there must be some connection between these LINDSEYs > and our McNEIL family in Amite Co. > Rev.
