Hey Cousin Sherry! Thanx for the response. We just have so many relatives we never heard of !! >You are sooooo right on the neat! I have found more RUDD family online >than any other line. You are my half-3rd cousin, if I figured right. I guess you are right about the link. For sure we had the same Great-Great-Grandfather so I guess that makes us 3rd cousins with different great-great-Grandmothers. I had a long distance phone call the other day from a lady I went to high school with (yes I can still remember that far back-hehe) who was asking about information I might have about her grandmother (Mandie Richards). This lady's maiden name was Carolyn Richards. You know her? Are you from Florida also? This stuff can really be exciting at times. Harry
