Hi Karen I have no family information for you but encouragement I have, keep looking; I have found cousins on family in lines that I thought not one person was researching as I had been looking for months and in one case for 3 years. Just keep posting the information every now and then and post to the County web site any information that you can come up with, copy's of marriage, birth records and the such. Some one will see it and get back to you when you least expect it.
