Hi Carlton, It will really help to post the entire name of the person you are looking for, and birth and death dates, or guesses if you don't have exact dates. Also who married to. Anything else you know might help as well, you never know. The more, the better. For instance, you don't have your great-grandfather's name, dates, who married to. It will be a lot harder to find or figure out who this person was or more info about him, if you don't have that basic info. If you have their child's info, it might be easier to back into it with that. -Susan At 10:29 12/11/01 EST, you wrote: >Dear Susan. > I have a GGrandfather who is said to have been born in Hertford Cty, >in 1811, I know his fathers name Thomas Mills Sumner, But I cant find >anything in the Hertford or NC sources.
