This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0EB.2ACE/383.1 Message Board Post: Hello: If you go to the Mormon archive at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp and put Hiram and Joanna in as the parents (don't put any names in the other spaces), you will see two Pedigree Resource Files with information provided to the church by different individuals. Their addresses are given, and though there is no guarantee that the addresses are correct anymore, you might want to write a letter to them and find out if they are related. Alternatively, you could check switchboard.com and you will find other people in the same city with the same name, along with their addresses. If you send a short letter to each, indicating that you are trying to find out about Hiram and explaining the connection to their name, you might get lucky. Often a simple form letter is the least expensive and most effective way to get what you are looking for. Best wishes Norm Dawson Calgary AB Canada
