Hi David, I notice that you are researching the family name Heddle. Interestingly enough, that is my wife's name and her family is from somewhere over that way. I have been searching my side of the family (Grant/Groat) but have had in the back of my mind to get to her side eventually. Her mother did some research on the Heddle line, though i know not how much. She is no longer living but I think my wife has the paperwork that she did. I say paperwork because it was done in the dark days before computers. If you would like I will take a look and share what she has. Let me know. (I am sending this email from my office email but can also be reached at grantda@ucinet.com ). dan grant
