Hello Kevin I have tried to send this note twice but my computer has not cooperated so I hope this is not redundent. This year I have placed 2 Diaries on line at the Susquehaana county web page. They were written by a young man called Manning Forse. His mother was Catherine Mead. I am related by marriage to this family. James Henry Mead was married twice first to Cora Squir They had two children Bernice Idell Sarah He then married Elle Mae Gere and had two children Wood Harland Mead b 1899 Mary Alice James Meads father was William Mead who married Julia Ann Calman Their chilkdren were James Henry Britton Charles Elmer My sisterinlaw who is married to a Dabulewicz is also a Mead . Her mother is Doris Irean Mead Thomas Her father was Charles Elmer His father William Please e-mail me at Agony-Acres@msn.com for the Manning Forse family history. The Meads the Forses and my Henry Williams family all moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn Pa at the same time. Shortly after the Civil War. I am just beginning to look into their genealogy having been stuck for so long with my Stemples and Dabulewicz families. I have decided to give them a rest and am researching the female lines for a while. I will look forward to hearing from anyone with a knowlege of Stemples, Westgate, Taylor, Boardman, Mead, Ace, Place or Redfield Linda Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/
