Whitewolf, I have found a very long list on the web of Dedmons and Deadman the name was changed from time to time. The Dedmon in my family was married to a Pickelsimer in Tenn. and north Ga., At this time I do not have my program working but I do know it was on a Pickelsimer web list... may be Dennis Pickelsimer. if you can not find it e-mail me, and i will try to find it for you Sandra ROWANROOTS-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: > > ROWANROOTS-D Digest Volume 00 : Issue 40 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Re: [RowanRoots] Barger/Bolch-Boli ["BARGERHAUS" <bargerhaus@msn.com>] > #2 [RowanRoots] Fwd: Wolf and Dedmon [Whitewolfe0510@aol.com] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from ROWANROOTS-D, send a message to > > ROWANROOTS-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
