Merry Christmas to all. Did not what to close done for the season and not take one last opportunity to say Merry Christmas too all. And just so you have something to do over the holidays I am cleaning out the data base of widows, orphans and lost lines. I will publish here what ever and all of the information I have whether Matlock or Medlock or Matlack or Matlick. If any of you know any of these folk or can contribute to the cause of tying the family together please feel free to respond. There will be a whole series of these each with this message and the primary ancestor as the subject line. May you all get what your want for Christmas and unlike myself only what I deserve.
