Thanks for the information on the book. While I was reading your email, I thought this sounds like a history major! I also majored in history; have just recently began working with genealogy My nephew just recently graduated from Baylor. They live in San Antonia,Texas. I had always heard that there were a lot of Pyron's in San Antonia--much more so thn in B'ham. I will try to get the book. Thanks again Lonita
