When I first saw this message, I did not realize that the message was addressed to me. I did not include important facts because I did not really realize I was addressing the entire board - my thoughts were focused on asking the original sender of the "Raymond Irvin Page" inquiry whether *she/he* had any thoughts on the coincidence of first names. I have searched a number of sources already - I have been searching since probably the mid-1980s. In my message below, I addressed a couple of them - the most information I have been able to get was at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, where there is a census which is apparently not available at any other location. And George Page has been most amiable in answering my inquiries, even though we both know that my husband's 12-marker DNA test was insufficient to make any definitive conclusions (or any at all). I'll not bother you further.
