It was from a woman on the North Carolina mail list. She just sent me the information and I decided to share it with the McFarland list. Actually I have started to copy everything I find about other McFarland families and saving it in a separate notebook. Who knows when it might be the missing piece of information I need to make my next connection. Here's the location of the list or go on Cyndislist and subscribe. NCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Conni in Ohio
