I would love to have a copy of the SWOPES info as well. I am not directly related to them however, I believe that George W Swopes is a son of James Parker Swopes and Rutha Emaline BROWN, is that right Louise? Rutha Emaline is a sister to my GGGrandfather, Samuel F BROWN. He married Mary Bray, who was born in IN. I am not sure if they were married in MO or not, I know their first son was born in IN, just don't know what county. Whenever you have time, and thank you so much for your generous offer. Other surnames I am researching are Petree, Williams and Earixon among others:) Don't want to get too greedy:):). Thanks you, Wanda Spegal wkss@theofficenet.com
