My Christian County research was primarily BURKHART, but from that I branched off into SHIPMAN, MELTON. I haven't been able to do much research for the past several months sincle my computer crashed. But Santa (my son) was good to me and brought me a new computer for Christmas so hopefully I'll be able to retreive my data from my old hard drive and be able to get back in the the research game. I too enjoy reading all the e-mails from the list. Joy (Bowman) Burkhart Warsaw, Missouri
