NC with some documentation I have been collectiong primary sources from many of you over the last several years and wonder if it would help if I posted this information to a web page. My thought is to have the information all in one place by date. Until I receive permission from you, I will post what information I have dug up. It turns out I may not descend through the BRIGHT line at all. There is a newspaper obit that states that my Mary Ann LOVICK is the daughter of George, not William, as my family has long stated. For this reason I have not updated my BRIGHT page lately. I am currently trying to prove her parents. I hate for all my BRIGHT info to go to waste. Let me know. I would title the page BRIGHT RESEARCH and credit each researcher for the information posted.
