Thanks, James--Yes, I have a friend named Louellyn, went to school with her--she's just retired. I partcularly picked out from your list: > 27. Marny LLEWELLYN - 1880 States Census / California > Other Gender: Female Birth: <1854> WHALES<----- Because the census takers spelled his name so many ways over the years, we may never know which is correct. Linda Menikos says Pleasant L. the father, had two wives. There is a possibility that "LouAllen" was the last child of the first wife, and possible? it was her surname: "Llewellyn"which is Welsh. Who knows? Your list shows such a family name in Georgia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James B.
