Hi Michele, Could I ask if, by chance, you might have information in your Kyler research showing that one of your ancestors may have sold land to my great-grandfather, WILLIAM WALTER CONDON, in exchange for a debt? The Condon farm was where the Lingle Tree Farm is located in Eden, Clearfield Co. Thanks very much.
