Julia - Looks like I am not going to be of much value to you. these are the Edward O'Neal's I have in my data base ____________________________________ Edward Newton O'Neall b.

Smith 1963 IA b. 1944 IA _______________________________ Don't think any of these match to your Edward O'Neal. Do you have any clue as to his fathers name. I ran Keziah through my program also and didn't get a match. I am sure there are grandchildren of Hugh O'Neall that we are not aware of, perhaps either out of wed-lock children or children not registered anywhere that we have looked to date. If you can find any more little tid-bits about place of birth or approximate date of birth it sure would help you and all of us with trying to make a match. I have even run across the instance where a name as "Edward" was not the given name but a name that was used in a particular place of residence and makes it really hard to trace him that way. Keep looking and I will do the same, just maybe we will come up with something. Jim O'Neall [email protected] "Searching the past; Looking to the future"
