That is a very old habit in my husband's family . They sign every building they work on so does my son. Usually It is at the chimney as it is a superstition for good luck, besides they are known for their fireplaces. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 6:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: MOADAIR Digest, Vol 2, Issue 22 Today's Topics: 1.

I live in Carthage MO and while remodeling our old house found "Thomas Sees" written in an older looking script on the back of a trim board. Recently I found out that the person who probably lived in our house first was Andrew Biffer, who had lived in Kirksville before he moved here. I suspect that Thomas Sees of Adair County was the builder but would like to prove it, or at least find out if he had built other houses. The two census records I find him in say he was a carpenter, and a contractor so it seems likely. Thanks for more clues.
