I hope that helps you ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Crouse To: Judy & Mark Wilkinson Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 4:30 PM Subject: Re: Yingling and Study Hi Judy, I saw your message on the Yinglings and noticed that Crouses are mentioned. Could you be so kind as to see what you can find in your book on Crouses. I would appreciate it very much. I am at the wall at the end of the 1700s. Maybe I can find a clue there but anything might help me fill in some blanks. Thanks, Wayne in Florida ([email protected],net)
