Thanks. It is me doing the research. Unfortunately neither he nor his 2 living brothers are "into" genealogy and so it falls upon me. I don't mind, but it is difficult to do much "chasing" down of the family, since they seem to know very little about their ancestors. Mary Richard Halliday wrote: > Mary; > The answer is "Maybe".

Mary Gagne; I understand your frustration. I married a convert. There were some things (e.g. Nawatha Jewel a Cherokee Indian) that they simply would not talk about. Even so since they are from Georgia, South Carolina & Florida they were much more interested in "family" than most non-LDS. Eventually, I found one member of that family who was actively persuing the research. We collaborated. After about twenty years of marriage I began to actively research my wife's family. For reasons that I do not understand when she realized that I had discovered some new information (a family in one of the censuses) she then began to take an active interest in it. But prior to that -- nothing. Richard Mary Gagne wrote: > Thanks. It is me doing the research. Unfortunately neither he nor his > 2 living brothers are "into" genealogy and so it falls upon me.
