Keep everything as it has been. It is a good list. I usually go to the message boards to see if their might be something more to learn about the queries. My names I am researching are: Dillon, Dawson, Malone, Rice. Other associated names: Kingery, Nance, Vermillion; husband's line: Riley, Vernier, Wood, Lawhorn and too many to mention.
