Jackie I have learned to take people's remembrances with a skeptical ear. For example, my mother-in-law was certain that her grandfather's second wife (her father's mother) had the last named Dewberry or Blackberry or some such. It turned out that after going down that trail in my research, I found out the woman's maiden name was Huckabay! Then, she claimed that someone else's last name was Roach and it turned out to actually be Robinett. You're right if you think I don't ask her any more names! Help like that, I surely do not need. And, like you, I had to 'prove' my research to her. Pat
