Hi Dorene, My 1930 index isn't showing any results for this family using the DOTSON or DODSON spelling or the Soundex index. Also a first name search using a birth year didn't turn up any results. I'm sorry, Marilyn ---------------------original message----------------------- In a message dated 4/2/2006 3:49:04 P.M.
