Thank you, Curtis and Brenda, Well, Curtis, it shows that you/we have made some advancement in our early Matlack/Matlock history ..... so you think John MATLOCK who m. Ann and 2nd Margaret, may be a brother of William (your N.J. branch) who m. Mary Hancock .... I hope others will back you up .... Winnie .... +++++++++ Thank you Brenda, I have often wondered what the St. Peters Parish records consisted of .... looks like our early researchers picked out what they wanted ..... or am I not reading them carefully enough. In either case thanks again and a big THANK YOU to all the rest who answered. When Jana Black worked so hard to get the Matlock book onto Shawn's website the index and the page numbers were lost ... but the individual's number remained in tact for you .... they are the same as those I used in the short "Basic Melba" version. Winnie, still dancing in OR.
