It has been some time since I posted this list, but things always change everyday...I am searching for the parents of my ggg grandmother Lovina SEVERANCE Howe..... b. 14 February 1824 in NY (according to census records) the birthdate is from a very old book my g grandmother had made in about 1920. The reason I am posting here is because on the IGI somebody has a Lovina Severance daughter of a John SEVERANCE and Melvina DUTTON....same birthdate as my Lovina in Truxton, Cortland County...except my book was made by my great grandmother prior to the IGI. Any ideas....anything familiar? Thank you much, Christine Matha "A genealogist must have the patience of Job; the curiosity of a cat; the stubborness of a mule; eyesight of an eagle; be blessed with the luck of the irish and the stanima of a camel to go long hours without food or drink."
