Good Morning (for 11 more minutes!): I am in cahoots with another POTTS researcher, since it is almost certain we share the same lines. If someone onboard has access to the 1900 Soundex, would you please see if you can come up with: Charles POTTS, about 25 years old. He would have been born in England. It is possible that he could have used his mother's maiden name at some point, which was WEST, but he is more likely to have used POTTS. If, indeed, you find any POTTS or WEST of England in Luzerne (possibly in Philadelphia), I (we) would be highly interested and appreciate it! The wall seems to be going to crumble. One thing might make any search easier... Certainly none of these POTTS or WEST issue would be very old. The parents are Anna (Hannah) and Richard WEST (not the natural father). Thanks, Vince Summers
