This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WMB.2ACE/4682.1.1 Message Board Post: Chitwoods are thick on the ground in Ellington, MO. You might consider posting a message on the Ancestry and Rootsweb CHITWOOD surname message boards and include Ellington in the subject line. I searched those two boards, using "Ellington" as keyword, and got a number of 'hits'. Hopefully, you might connect with someone who can help you further your search. Good luck. Liz
