Many of you know about my pierce research and talking about my possible link to Hugh Pierce VA 1749 via the finding of Rhea Kuykendall's genealogy papers at the Fort Worth Library http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/Joeljpierce.html I finally got to the Fort Worth main library (Genealogy Section) today only to find that All the papers in Rhea's--Pierce genealogy file--have been stolen. (or lost or misfiled) The head genealogist feels they were stolen. Wanda Ruby sent me a copy of part of his material pertaining to his STRIPES (Tx Genealogy magazine) articles about pierce and kuykendall genealogy. I have not got it straight in my mind but Rhea's Wife or his fathers wife was Joanna Pierce a direct descendent of Hugh Pierce VA . I have scanned this STRIPES article into text format, and have been meaning to clean up the text and formatting for some time--so that I could sent it out to the pierce list. I had put this off thinking about getting stripes consent before resdistributing. I guess I should do the clean and format and just send it out to you guys anyway. She also sent me the other big find --Rhea had a letter from my Great Uncle written in 1937. I am trying to figure out what other material that has been lost. Do we (on this list) have any members who had been to the Fort Worth Library and made a complete photo copy of Rhea's Pierce File????? ANY AND ALL HELP AND SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED I found some other Pierce info tidbits that I found that will sent to the list in a few minutes -- LD Pierce PO 35394 Dallas Tx 75235 800-398-5127 Page me on ICQ: 35821033 Send me an email express page: [email protected] if I am onine this give me an immediate message popup! be sure and put your email address in the message body so I can write you back http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/index.html Pierce Genealogy Pages & Pierce Electronic Book http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/juanita.html Faus, Hibbs, Luke Electronic Book Genealogy Pages http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/publishpdf.html Publish Your Genealogy Book Electronically http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/chimeindex.html eztone door chime homepage http://members.xoom.com/ceeds/bellhop.htm Hotel Bellhop Tribute Page to Phillip Morris Johnny
