WOW! MaryAnn this is fantastic and WAY beyond my expectations--how on earth did it occur to you to look for him in Rhode Island? I wasn't sure if he ever left Thomaston as he is buried there (alone). I would love the info on the Warrens, although I have to say I'm hesitant to ask you to do MORE as what you have provided is so great (and very appreciated). This family is a bear to research and it's been a long time without new information --you have provided a tremendous amount here for us to verify--we didn't know his spouse's name (first or maiden) didn't know the date he married --didn't know he resided in R.I. and would never have thought he would be a "tinsmith." He comes from a line of master mariners. This also seems to straighten out the confusion with his name (a prior census has him as Forrest F. Curling--headstone as Frank F. Curling). THANK YOU very very much for your work on this. dianne P.S. please excuse a dumb question --does this mean you looked the Curling family I requested up in the Knox County 1910 census and did not find them? Or does it mean you looked in the census' you have(Not Knox Co, Me.) and this is what you came up with? I only ask so as to keep straight in my head what records have been searched etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Malgren@aol.com To: ME-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com ; pals@goldrush.com Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 6:49 AM Subject: Re: CURLING/ Knox County Hi Dianne ~ I believe the below might be your Frank and Ardell's son, Frank :) ~Maryann~ ============================== Frank F.
