I would love to have such a library, but living in a rented apt cannot happen. But, I have a request for alookup if it is possible. In #3 and #27(census records) would you lookup the names NEWELL, WRIGHT and BOWDEN? My Wright married Bowden X 3 and then a Wright married a Newell. The Bowden girls as I call them, Sarah, Nancy and not sur of the younger one, all married Hiram Wright. Charity, daughter of Sarah and Hiram married Edward Newell. I have a little bit on them, but not the parents of Hiram. Hiram was born ca 1810, and also Edward Newell's father, Bryant Newell was born about 1810 or so. He and his wife were illiterate according to what census info I could get. I would like to find his parents or where he was born. I believe they may have come from VA but not sure. Thanks so much for your help in the past and in the future. Margaret There is only one other alternative to getting older, and I'm not ready for that yet. I'm too busy diggin my roots and searching for more limbs to my tree. Diggin for Stewart, McConnell, Inglis, Herring, MacFarlane, Jones,and others on paternal side, Addison,Wright,Newell,McDaniel,Foster,Renfro on maternal side and others. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
