Hi Everett: I have been in contact with you on the Emerson's in the Inks line. The spelling of names as you described is very common. I have 18 different spellings for my Show line and 12 different for m Romesburg line. The spelling is changed for many reasons, unable to write, not wanting to be associated with the original spellings for what ever reason. Good luck, Greg Researching in Show, Inks, Cole, Hager, Romesburg, in PA Williams, Hendricks, Brearton, Kruse, Prendergast, in IL ----- Original Message ----- From: "none E G E" <everettege@webtv.net> To: <PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 1:24 AM Subject: Re: [PAFAY] Emerson Archive > > --WebTV-Mail-30613-733 > Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit > > Hi Jane > I did not have a Sarah Emmerson 1810.
