Thanks for the reply. My Grandfather on my Mother's side was Lawrence Mitchell. He had 3 sisters, Lena, Mertye and Belle . I never knew where they came from or any of the rest of the Mitchell. They lived in the mid Michigan area. Grandpa Mitchell lived at Edgewood, 9 miles east of Ithaca, Michigan and was a blacksmith. If you can tell if there is any connection, please let me know. Again thanks for your reply.
