To all those who answered my plea. I want to thank all of you who responded to my request on the book I have been searching for. I have also been asked by several to pass the information along if I find it. I believe this to be the one I was searching for. So to Margaret Calvin my deepest thanks. Even if these are not direct lines the books would prove interesting to my dad's heritage. I thought some of you would find your lines in one of these Christians. Family J is close, but my line came over earlier. I was also happy to make contact with other members of my Christian Miller line. Deepest thanks again to all. I will most likely get the bks. If they prove to be of help to the Holmes Co. area I will try to get them for that chpt as well later this yr. ~pat jones~ Ann M. Scott wrote: > Pat, > > Margaret Calvin put us in touch at last.
