Thanks Sharon!. That ties into some other info I have about the part of the family later being in/around Calvin. Bet it's only a short hop to Beck Twnshp. in McIntosh Co., where they were in 1910! Now, I have the county, can dig deeper. Thanks much. Hope you had a blessful Easter. Ethel --- Sharon Crawford <scburn@mmcable.com> wrote: > Hi Ethel > OK Place Names: > Tandy.
