Sarah, Thank you so much for pointing me in the direction of the website "geocities...heartland" etc for my Morris line.,,,What I did find is a lot of references to my Dearing line...whichis the direct line on my father's side and picked up some leads on allied families. I will have to look into the master index to this group of families listed at this address and see if anyone else has their info up there too. Again, thanks so much, Joan ---------------------------------------------------- NetZero Platinum Sign Up Today - Only $9.95 per month! http://my.netzero.net/s/signup?r=platinum&refcd=PT97
