Sheri: I noticed the name BEFFORT in your message on the Lutheran-Roots List. My niece married a young man named BEFORT from Hays, Kansas. I understand that's a common name there. Have you seen this spelling in your research? I really haven't done much with that line, but would be interested to know more if there could be a connection. I'd be glad to help you if I can. Thanks and best wishes! Ruth Olson Council Bluffs, IA/Bellevue, WA fenley wrote: > Dear Bjohnson, > I thank you in advance for your kind offer.
