Dear List, Ok, I messed up big time! I don't know where my head was, but I was thinking there was only going to be one researcher on this list for Iams. That is, Iams from Greene County, PA. Obviously, there's more than 1! I've already heard from 3 so far. If there are any other researchers of Iams, please hold your emails! The reason I was asking is that I have a collection of Iams info. Why, I don't know! I'm not related to the Iams. They did, however, live next door to my gg grandparents, Hiram and Nancy Simpson, in Bristoria, PA. I guess I was hoping the Iams could help me with my research. Anyway, that didn't pan out. I'm cleaning out my genealogy files. I'm getting ready for a trip East and will have several days free to just research my family. This will be the first time in a zillion years. I came across this IAMS collection. I don't need or want it. If there was only one researcher, I would simply mail it to him/her. This isn't the case. So, to ensure this resource is available to all Iams Researchers, I'm going to take this collection with me to Cornerstone in Greene County. They have surname files. Look for it to be at Cornerstone mid-July. In the meantime, something that may help is a document that's apparently entitled, "Iams of America" Landed Gentry of Maryland: Patriots, Pioneers, and Successful Americans." It's Edited by Ralph D. Reynolds, M.D., 319 Paoli Pointe Drive, Paoli, PA 19301 (1998). It includes: Iiams, Ijams, Iames, Eyoms, Jiames, Ijames, Ijems, Jiams, Jiemes, Iiames, Imes, Hioms, Eyeams, Ijemes, Yams, Iimes, Ims, Emson, Ems, Eyoms, Eyans, Jams, Iioms, etc. Again, sorry for the confusion.
