Wanda, Was Orville and Lucille your parents? If so, I received a lette from you about 20 years ago. I would like to exchange some informtion about the family and try to clarify some points. My father was Joseph Martin (Joe) Blackwell and Remus was my uncle. I have collected quite a bit of information about the Blackwell Family, but some if it is disputed so would like to see what you have in those areas that people are not in agreement on. Pat Bauer, a cousin, has put up the following web site with some of the information we have. There is more, but didn't want to put up anything that wasn't reasonably certain. <A HREF="http://blackwells2.homestead.com/files/index.htm">Thomas Blackwell Descendents</A> Regards, Lonnie J.
