Hi, Heidi: I'm glad that was helpful. Check with your library system to see if they offer anything. I'm in Maryland and the Maryland Public Library System provides free access to Heritage Quest Online. Do you know John's father's name? Do you know where in PA John was born? Do you know his wife's maiden name? You're quite welcome. Debra On Wednesday, Oct 13, 2004, at 18:00 US/Eastern, Heidi wrote: > Extremely useful !!

Have not found free access to Heritage Qest in Des Moines, Iowa yet. Just starting looking for Ida Amelia McDonald 3 days ago and received message yesterday from person who found out her father's name was John S. So no don't know John's fathers' name, where he was born or what his wife's maiden name was. Feeling very lucky, especially after message today from you. You also found other relatives too--- Hattie and Roy Frazier- Thanks for the images Heidi ---- Original Message ----- From: "D.
