This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Parody Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2RB.2ACE/5976.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi Ashley - your note is posted to a St. Lawrence county NY message board but there is no mention of any town in the county. Depending on where your grandfather lived in the county and *when*, it might be fairly easy to find his parents names. You need to re-post your query indicating which town(s) the people lived in and when. Any known birth, death and marriage dates are important. If you have not contacted your oldest living relatives, that is always the best place to start. Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
