Oh boy, my pet peeve: Here we go again with the subject lines that state, "Searching for the Powells". Please keep in mind that we digest readers do not read all the messages...just the subject line looking for specific Powell names or places, dates, etc. Please be more specific in subject lines; I wish the site administrator would make a point of bringing this to the attention of all the readers. My subject line: Howell Powell of Wales, MA and IL. Jo-Ann Seitzinger
