Dear Rooters, Seems that my Cathey (Mecklenburg County, originally) is starting to merge with my Transylvania/Haywood County Parkers as I enter the data, so now my mother's family and my father's family, until recently "totally unrelated", are finding common cousins. A son and a daugher of William V. Parker married a daughter and a son of William Cathey. Whew! I about had a heart attack when my program said, "It this the same so-and-so as ..." Lots of fun, Philip Sheppard Beaufort, South Carolina
