In response to the following "Message Board Post": [I am researching my Divine roots from the Lamar, MO area as well. My father is one of six children, he is Donald (a twin with Diana). My grandfather was Orville Divine who married Eva Alice Horton. The next generation we're not sure but we believe my ggfather was Will but was called Charlie??? And my gg-grandmother was Sarah Cathlyn Shaw. All were from that area of Missouri. Any info would help!] *************************************************** Here are some DIVINEs.
