Thanks again Donna for your suggestions. We belong to WRHS, I'll have to check if they have the type of list you mentioned. For the past several years I have posted on all the Rootsweb lists for surnames for descendants but to date no luck. Even sent letters to a town in Texas where a daughter was supposed to live. There were only about 6 with the same surname. Got an "E" mail back which said that all the families were related, after checking with one another no one had ever heard of the woman. As you said, sometimes months later I get a response from a query. Thanks for your interest. Mary Ellen Chambers
