One can never predict these things, can we? And as a follow up to your post about the names you're looking for, I'd be interested in knowing more about the towns/ areas & the time period the group members are researching. Who knows, sharing this sort of information we may bump into someone who has a lot of expereince with a certain area & who can prove very valuable to us. For my part, I'm interested in the McMACKIN family who lived in Painesville & Madison in the early 1800s through the mid 1900s, with the main farm & orchards of Dan Burchard MCMACKIN (son of Charles MCMACKIN) which he farmed with a number of his sons from his marriage to Susan HALL. It was located on a corner in North Madison, north of Route 20 at Chapel Road & another road which totally slips my mind now. Now this is a perfect example of why I need that road Atlas! regards, Susan McMackin Reynolds, Lewes DE <A HREF="http://members.delphi.com/LIFESTORY/">Chronic Illness & Life Challenges Workshops </A>
