I have received several leads that I hope to work on this weekend. Concerning Fred Fruin, I will check on that this weekend as well. I have 70+ Dade County Genealogy books that I can check. If you visit http://www.dadegenealogy.4t.com/photo.html you will find quite a bit of Shipley info. that I received recently. I didn't have time to check for Ida or her husband(s). I will get back to you on Fred. Usually, when I check something for some one I go through the census starting at 1850 and coninue down to 1920. From there I consult marriage and funeral records and then cemetery records. I am very systematic and detailed. If I have it I will find it. I love this kind of thing so hang in there and I'll be in touch. Tammy
